Ya gotta love it. It's the "truth" industry version of sugar pills. -Marty

Another quote I ran across, found on voicestress.com. The quote is about CVSA, but certainly could be applied to polygraphs.
Quote:

Instead they have relied on selective personal testimonials on how they can be used to obtain confessions, while the routine failure of the device as a lie detector is overlooked. Are confessions the same as validity? Hardly. For years cops used to get confessions from suspects with all kinds of lie detector ruses, like wiring a naïve suspect to a photocopier, or using the old Motorola radio in their squad cars that could change a red light to green when the mike button was pressed. And, a phony ploy works only so long before people catch on.

Ironically enough, the site is a pro-poly / anti-CVSA site. Perhaps they should "practice what they preach" Wink
