Recently, however, when he was hooked up to a polygraph machine for a re-examination… he failed. He was told by the examiner that he was "all over the place," and withholding conscious thoughts.

Col. Kathryn Spletstoser just wanted to fade into retirement. She'd served 28 years in various posts and had done four combat deployments: two in Iraq, and two in Afghanistan. She'd been a White House fellow. She had earned three master's degrees. She was one of the most accomplished officers of her generation. She was ready to go into private sector work, spend time with her aging mother, and go back to her native Wisconsin.  But in April 2019, when President Trump nominated Air Force Gen. John Hyten, then the commander of the U.S. Strategic Air Command and her boss, to serve as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the second highest ranking military officer in the United States and the second most powerful position in...

But just how often it can catch you in a lie is shrouded in controversy. Regardless, thousands of polygraphs are given each year in the US, alone, for everything from government clearance screening to witness verification.  And the power of these machine's results is not taken lightly.  People have reportedly lost their jobs and even reputations over a failed exam.  But how exactly does this machine work, and is it really as accurate as polygraph examiners claim?
