Do you think it could be banned in say 5-10 years or more like 10-20 years?

There is no way to speculate on something like this. The main problem we face is that polygraph screening (which includes employment related testing) affects the lives of very few people right now (as the use of it by most employers was banned in 1998). Still, I believe polygraph screening can and will be abolished. The key will be to educate people about the trickery behind these "tests" and their inherent unreliability.

Are there efforts being made to stop pre-employment polygraphing?  If so, what is currently being done to bring about this needed change?

AntiPolygraph.org was founded with the goal of abolishing all polygraphy, especially polygraph screening.

Some of our activities include:

- Exposing the trickery and fraud behind polygraphy.
- A letter writing campaign to elected officials requesting a Comprehensive Polygraph Protection.
- Numerous FOIA requests
- The Campus Poster Initiative
