While the U.S. remains the main user of polygraphs, the pseudoscience has sadly made inroads in numerous other countries.

We don't know what Ivana Horyn thinks about polygraphy. One would hope she would have learned over the course of her career that it's junk science. But DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is an enthusiastic supporter of polygraph screening: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/04...

. @nbcnews.com @datelinenbc.bsky.social The polygraph is based on junk science. No American should ever agree to take one for any reason.

Congress could both enhance national security and put an end to polygraph abuse by closing the governmental loopholes in the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988. See our proposed changes to this law: antipolygraph.org/ceppa.shtml

You're in good company. The FBI has a pre-employment polygraph failure rate on the order of 50%. It's clear that many honest applicants are wrongly branded as liars. I've shared my experience, which occurred shortly after the FBI first began polygraphing applicants, here: antipolygraph.org/s/gwm

Polygraphs only "work" if the person being "tested" is credulous enough to believe that they do.

On this day in 2015, the late polygraph critic Doug Williams began serving a 2-year prison sentence in Florence, Colorado. He had been targeted for entrapment by federal polygraph operators who were upset that he had been teaching people how to pass or beat a polygraph "test."

The federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 prohibits private employers from conducting polygraph dragnets.

Note also that polygraph "tests" are pseudoscientific nonsense. That the U.S. intelligence community relies on them so heavily—let alone at all—speaks to its deep-rooted incompetence.

Before saying that, say no.

Clenching one's buttocks is not an advisable polygraph countermeasure, as it may be detectable via the seat pad that comes with modern polygraph instruments. There are better, more subtle techniques available: antipolygraph.org/pubs.shtml

Feds specifically carved out an exemption for government stuff in the law otherwise banning polygraph use. Polygraph machines are basically the same exact thing as Scientology e-meters that "read your thetans".

The National Academy of Sciences' key finding was 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."
