Folks, here is another late-breaking news story that further proves the polygraph is garbage.
Joshua Myers sentenced to five years in prison for child sex crimes (http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/12/joshua-myers-sentenced-to-five-years-in-prison-70132.html)
Now read the first paragraph of this article:

WASHINGTON - An assistant principal who pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography is "enormously ashamed," and "has lost everything that he values" but passed a lie detector test showing he never sexually abused any minors....Myers subjected himself to a lie detector test administered by a retired FBI polygrapher.
So a pedophile can pass a poly, that means you can too! LOL. I also passed a federal agency's poly, and I lied. They were like: "Have you ever committed a crime for which you weren't caught?". And I replied, "no". LIE! I've done so many petty crimes including paying for prostitutes, petty theft, some cyber crimes, but was never caught. I just followed instructions, got on my polygrapher's good side, employed a few mental countermeasures, didn't confess to anything, dismissed the bullspit interrogation tactics, and presto, I passed!
Poly is a joke. Please get rid of this stupid machine.
I'm surprised nobody has replied to this post yet. Wow, a pedophile passed an FBI-administered polygraph? Well damn. The poly needs to be abolished, seriously. This is ridiculous. Guilty people are passing, and innocent people are failing. I laugh at the polygraph.
