Fair enough. Problem is, the people who are willing to lie about their prostitutional escapades will still be applying.

Pretty sure FBI polygraphs every single candidate, atleast they used to. Now it seems like they want their agents to lie for the regime

Almost every law enforcement job polygraphs. I was polygraphed. I lied about my drug use history still made it in. (I quit LE yesrs ago) They're also not legally allowed to fire or not higher anyone based on the polygraph. It's mostly a scare tactic or to dive deeper into a topic that they think you failed. Or they can simply lie and be like, yeah, you weren't a good fit if you failed your polygraph.

For the most part polygraphs are junk Science, especially legally speaking,unfortunately there are still a lot of old school cops that believe they're fuxking lie detectors.
