Polygraph Testing ..Damn What's next...!

Well, not that I am any expert but there are ways to beat the Polygraph Test/Lie Detector, just click here. I can't believe work places will start to implement this. LOL
I tell you, it is just like Guyanese to implement something they just now discovered, to every aspect of the country. It doesn't work that way, according to Wikipedia " A polygraph (popularly referred to as a lie detector) is an instrument that measures and records several physiological responses such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration and skin conductivity while the subject is asked and answers a series of questions, on the theory that false answers will produce distinctive measurements. The polygraph measures physiological changes caused by the sympathetic nervous system during questioning." Now here is the important part, "Polygraphs are often used as an interrogation tool with crimal suspects or candidates for sensitive public or private sector employment." Okay let me break that down in layman's terms, only if there is an on going or suspected crime some one can be forced to take the lie detector test or when someone is attempting to get a high profiled job ( meaning Police/ law enforcement official/ Army officer/FBI agent/ the justice system employees etc). So i hope the government doesn't make it mandatory for cashiers, sales clerks and cleaners to get them too. No joke yah never know with this government , they will implement it , in all the places it is not needed.. LOL

Things to Know:

• The consensus view among scientists is that polygraph testing has no scientific basis?

• The man who started the CIA's polygraph program thinks that plants can read human thoughts?
• The foremost polygraph advocate in academia was discredited by a federal judge?
• A prominent past-president of the American Polygraph Association is a phony Ph.D., and this premier polygraph organization doesn't consider it an ethics problem?

• The Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment (the erstwhile DoD Polygraph Institute) suppressed a study suggesting that innocent blacks are more likely to fail the polygraph than innocent whites?
• The researcher who developed the U.S. Government's polygraph Test for Espionage and Sabotage "thought the whole security screening program should be shut down?"
• The National Academy of Sciences concluded that "[polygraph testing's] accuracy in distinguishing actual or potential security violators from innocent test takers is insufficient to justify reliance on its use in employee security screening in federal agencies?"
• Spies Ignatz Theodor Griebl, Karel Frantisek Koecher, Jiri Pasovsky, Larry Wu-tai Chin, Aldrich Hazen Ames, Ana Belen Montes, and Leandro Aragoncillo all passed the polygraph?
