Polygraph Results Often in Question

If it won't hold up in a court of law, why should its use be allowed to determine whether a person gets a job or continues in a job, either in goverment or for government's corporate masters.

However, if lie detectors are to be used, then let's hook up all of our elected officials, every time they open their mouths about anything offdicial.

The president can be hooked up to one for every official speech. The results could be viewed in real time on a screen behind him. The people will come to understand that it is a waste of time to watch him at any other time.

Same for the Senate and House. Everything they say from the floor of either chamber, will be monitored for accuracy by a lie detector. No more suspending the reading of Bills, or revising and extending remarks. If you don't say it while wired, it hasn't been said and it will not appear in any record that the public pays any attention to.

People who are called to testify before Congress, for any reason of national importance, will also be 'wired,' so to speak.

The American people would then have more time to focus on thier own personal lves and how to get the hell off the grid and learn to ride a motorcycle hybrid of somekind, a skate board, or whatever, because they will no longer have to watch TV news, because they will know that that is a place that politicians and their minion are not wired, so there is really no point in watching, unless one just enjoys being lied to, or likes comparing wired speech to unwired speech.

Yep, I definitely see the possible potential of the lie detector, if the government is going to use it at all.

I say start at the top!

Polygraph Results Often in Question:

"The CIA, the FBI and other federal agencies are using polygraph machines more than ever to screen applicants and hunt for lawbreakers, even as scientists have become more certain that the equipment is ineffective in accurately detecting when people are lying.

Instead, many experts say, the real utility of the polygraph machine, or 'lie detector,' is that many of the tens of thousands of people who are subjected to it each year believe that it works -- and thus will frequently admit to things they might not otherwise acknowledge during an interview or interrogation."
