Do Lie Detector Tests Really Work? - Psychology Today Do Lie Detector Tests Really Work? - Psychology Today Posted: 14 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST In February of 1994, the FBI arrested Aldrich Ames, who had been a CIA employee for 31 years. Ames was arrested and charged with espionage. He was a Russian spy. For nine years, he had been passing secrets to the Russians in exchange for over $1.3 million.
