on their plates fighting two wars and al Qaeda: Many operatives

employees if they follow strict guidelines; in the case of CIA agents,

Boston-based Business Intelligence Advisors. BIA specializes in
"tactical behavioral assessment," a sort of "human lie detector"
analysis that seeks to detect whether people are lying without using a
polygraph. The firm trains clients to conduct TBA themselves—or does it
for them for a fee, often on quarterly corporate-earnings calls.
