Why the resistance? Good question. My hunch is they have precious little to offer in terms of sound scientific methodology. But maybe they'll prove me wrong.

Bingo Dan.  They have nothing to offer and they seek power and money.  The majority of the polygraphers and polygraph supporting administrators in our government agencies are absolutely no better than the KGB or East German STASI.  It is true that our polygraphers do not keep people awake for days and keep their victims locked in a tiny cell between interrogation sessions (only because they aren't allowed to do so), but the actual mental torture and permanent negative consequences to an innocent victim is every bit the same.

What a terrible stain on the noble efforts of the rest of our intelligence and law enforcement community.
