Good question. The basis of a lie detector, corrrect me if I'm wrong, is to to test stress resulting from particular answers that have been asked. Isn't it a bit like the shooter at the olympic games - the most relaxed competitors you will ever meet. This athlete has to have the ability to reduce their pulse rate consciously which will reduce the error aiming at the bull.
I wonder if this is the reason why evidence from lie detectors are inadmissable in court.
Ok, Rebellion - what are you cooking up now ???

Yes. Believe it or not, muscle testing is actually more accurate than the best lie detector machinery. So is paying close attention to body language and small involuntary muscle activity (to a very large extent as in that TV program "lie to me" (although it isn't as simple as the program makes out). At best, lie detectors are about 80% accurate, while the observation based ones (muscle testing and 'twitches') are about 90% accurate (this does depend on the observer's skills and ability to determine the right 'twitches'). And the biggest problem with either type of test is that, even when they detect a lie, the lie might have nothing to do with the question being asked.

Lie detectors depend on your blood flow and pressure to determine when you lie. When you lie your blood pressure increases, so if you pervent this, they cannot provide any sufficient proof. All you need is a little sedative or acetylcholine does the trick before taking the test. Usually these tests are accompanied by drug tests so you want to use a rarer drug.

Funny question. The government spends a lot of money on advancing these machines to make them better.
Certain private agencies teach people how to beat them if captured by the enemy.
The answer is yes. So why have the machine?

yes, its not that hard. the machines are finicky, people are finicky... the detector isnt a very good source of info, anyway. results of a lie detector test arent allowed in a court of law as evidence, because its not a viable source.

Growing up, my mom was called the lie detector machine.
I tried to overcome, but it was no use--she was that good.
I eventually learned out of self-preservation to stop trying and be truthful.

Yes..of course it took a little help from advanced chemistry and the fact that I have had years of practice...skirting the truth..
