Is the Polygraph a Tool for Governments?

I love looking at technology through the lens of politics. There's a political backstory when polygraphs become sort of popular and mainstream again. After 9-11 funding for brain-based lie detectors kind of shot up. That's the one event that really kickstarted the new wave of lie detectors. My favorite takeaway is the polygraph takes straight to Wonder Woman and her last two of Truth. I think that is a lovely thing which I've never heard before, which is terrific. Thank you very much for coming on the show. Don't forget, as ever, leave a review.
