re: Polygraph test?

You could pass with flying colors and they can tell you that you failed miserably.

This is the tactic they use. 1 - they try to convince you that the polygraph is infallible and if you lie they will see it. 2 - if they suspect you're lying about something, they'll come back and tell you that they "detected" deception in an answer and try to scare you into giving the "honest" answer if you didn't originally.

The only way they work is if you fall into this trap and confess to something where they suspected deception. They will take your admission outside of the polygraph in court. They will not accept the results of the polygraph, but if you are coerced into admission, they will take the admission.
