Have you ever taken one? Would you ever take one?
I have never been asked to take one, but I know people who have, for job-related/ security clearance reasons.
It's junk science. Most people know this, I hope. You could probably get the same results by employing a Tarot card readear, a Ouija board, a Witch Doctor throwing the knuckle bones of his ancestors, or a drug dog.
I know these things are really just interrogation tools. They really can't tell if you're lying or not, but they can make you admit to things you wouldn't do if you weren't hooked up to the machine. So they do serve some purpose to capture morons who don't know any better.
But even if you were accused of a crime, would you take one to "clear" yourself, at least in the eyes of the investigators?
