I wish, but I don’t think lie detector tests can be used as evidence. I think that they were ruled invalid several years ago.

“United States v. Cordoba, 104 F.3d 225 (9th Cir. 1997); United States v. Posado, 57 F.3d 428 (5th Cir. 1995). In a pre-Daubert decision, United States v. Piccinonna, 885 F.2d 1529 (11th Cir. 1989) (en banc), the Eleventh Circuit held that polygraph results are admissible (1) when the parties stipulate to admissibility in advance of the test; or (2) when the polygraph results are used to impeach or corroborate the testimony of a witness.”

Since the purpose of my polygraph on illegals and asylum claims is “impeach or corroborate the testimony”, it would arguably be admissible.
