No people are afraid of polygraph tests because to be given one is to be under suspicion in the first place. And a lot of people have learned that the things are incredibly fallible. I'd be terrified to be given a polygraph because I know how dependent they are on voodoo pseudo-science and that the results are functionally random, having my freedom fall subject to something that basically is a crap shoot is a scary concept.

The FBI,CIA and DoD uses the polygraph as part of their internal security checks. If they use it as part of their internal security program successfully for decades its fine with me. Of course they have hit bumps on the road they think its still reliable. Again, if you have nothing to hide you will pass the test with flying colors.
