Unfortunately, the polygraph isn’t restricted to the domain of tabloid television. It’s also regularly accorded a measure of credibility in official contexts. It is sometimes allowed in court cases, it is routinely employed by law enforcement and you can be denied employment if you are deemed to have “failed” a test. In other words, we still allow people’s lives to be jacked by charlatans with Ouija boards.
