    They filed charges a few years on a guy who wrote a book on how to beat them. If they did that then they know they can be manipulated. If they can be fooled then they are useless. I read a article several years ago that stated the first scientist the US government hired to study them concluded it was pseudo science. They were fired and replaced by a group that concluded they worked. No surprise there.

    I can’t find the article to match up with that statement anymore but there are plenty studies debunking them. I want one to play with. I can to a certain extent manipulate my heart rate. I found this out when I had a heart attack. They hook me up almost every time I go in the hospital which I’ve been back three times. I can alter my heart rate to slow down and speed up enough make it alarm. I can also control my blood pressure if I’m in the right frame of mind. If I can do that I’m sure I could manipulate a polygraph. I want to be able to write my name with one.
