Actually, polygraphs are still used by some investigators to weed out or hone in on possible suspects before interrogations.

The actual polygraph result aren't important in that scenario - it's the suspect's reaction to the threat of one. There have been cases where cops hooked people up to "lie detectors" that were merely a colander wired to a photocopier that said "He's lying." (That interrogation technique worked.)

LOL. Thanks for a good laugh this morning. Of course it wouldn't be funny if you were innocent!
