He's fucking around. There have been some fMRI studies done with subjects lying, but the results aren't too much better than the polygraph test. The real nightmare is trying to apply them to real world situations, where your subject hasn't been TOLD to lie about certain things. A test subject's mental state in the lab is pretty easy: Okay, gotta try and beat this so I can get the extra $20. A real criminal lying about stealing government secrets? Good luck.

You can tell he's trolling by the anal probe. Newer polygraph tests have a pad that lays across the seat to see if you clench your glutes to spike pressure. Nothing like a fucking anal probe. Just imagine how your typical person is going to react to something shoved up their ass. Nothing would be reliable.
