@CNNSOTU Nobody should be required to take a polygraph test: they're junk science, as confirmed by the National Research Council. Instead, the federal government should scrap its reliance on the pseudoscience of polygraphy for all purposes.
@JadedAmerican07@CJGRISHAM@itzRex To our knowledge, Jeffrey Dahmer was never polygraphed by law enforcement. But the fact of the matter is that anyone can beat a polygraph test because the procedure is vulnerable to simple and effective countermeasures that polygraph operators cannot detect.

Ignoring science, the new 39-year-old president of Costa Rica is attempting to combat corruption through the magical thinking of polygraphy: https://t.co/1XrGQkz51p
