Title: Re: Polygraphs & pregnancy
Post by Batman (Guest) on Nov 18th, 2002 at 9:35pm
Oh Heck, I'll chime in on this one.  Any polygraph examiner who would administer an exam to a woman who is 8 months pregnant, on a non-life or death situation, would have to be an idiot.  (Beech, you may respond with, "All polygraph examiners are idiots." )

The original question was, "What, if any, would the harm be in her taking this test?".  From a physical standpoint, probably no harm, if her prenancy has had no complications.  From a polygraph standpoint, well, how would the examiner interpret a response that the examinee claims occurred because her soon to be born NFL player just kicked a 50 yard field goal into her kidney?  (George, you may respond with a question, "How would an Examiner know what causes any response seen on a polygraph exam?")

In this particular situation, the right call was made by the agency administering polygraphs, even if it was a year ago.  Three points to them.

George, do you post these old ones just to "stimulate debate", or is it because no one new has been dropping in lately?
