It is amazing how little has changed in the years since I took my polygraph for a major government agency and was accused of lying. While it is great to express one's views on this website, we should also be contacting our local/national news agencies to again begin more intensive investigative reporting on the inaccuracy of these machines. The recent scandals involving government employees who passed polygraph exams would make a great story in itself! We should also be contacting our local representatives to see how our tax money is being spent on the use and abuse of these machines.

No, not much at all has changed in the years since 1982, when I was polygraphed last.
Adverse publicity is an excellent idea, but the intelligence community, unfortunately, has been able to remain wholly impervious to all revelations about its incompetence. >:(

The irony is that the "truth" behind polygraphs may reside with those who tried to be too honest and failed their exams.
