You look them in the eye for what would be an uncomfortable amount of time. Very, very few liars can resist this inspection without giving some obvious clues to their discomfort.

haha but then you look like a weirdo :p
You are probably grossly overestimating the amount of time I am suggesting you look into their eyes. It takes just a fraction of a second.
That might also cause discomfort in someone who's telling the truth.
Sure, but if you are keen, wise , and experienced, you can nearly always tell the difference. Practice with it, and you will get better at reading people. Not to the point where thy think you are weird, just gaze slighly longer than usual, or at least look people in the eye when you speak to them.
Besides, that is the point. If you need to know whether someone is telling the truth or not, that would be an instance where the risk of making a truth teller slightlyuncomfortable is worth the reward of finding out if they are indeed telling the truth. This is a technique for only infrequent, important situations.
