Rob,
There are a few exceptions to the polygraph prohibition.
The National Academy of Sciences called the tests "unreliable, unscientific
and biased."
I don't believe that a machine can read your mind based on your blood
pressure, pulse and respiration rates. I wouldn't think too many scientists
would believe that. If a machine can really read your mind, then why bother
with a trial?

Tell that to anyone who works for the CIA, NSA, NRO or any defense
contractor on a special-access-required program. ;-)
Just my opinion, but I'm pretty sure lie detector tests are pure
psuedo-science hokem designed to scare perps into confessing.
Under proper conditions, they work quite well against most people.
But they can be defeated by pathological liars. --Rob
