Za'tarc detector

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Zatarcdetector2.jpg

A device of Tok'ra construction, specifically designed to determine whether or not a subject is a za'tarc -- a subconsciouslly programmed Goa'uld assassin. An arm built onto the device analyzes the retina of a subject, and in conjunction with the Tok'ra memory device, compares the conscious memory to the unconscious mind. If they do not match, it is concluded that the subject has been programmed to be a za'tarc and the event covered up with a false memory.

The za'tarc detector is not entirely reliable, having given false positives on at least three occasions. The device is also used as a lie detector, since the subconcious mind cannot be made to believe a lie.
