Comment on How do "lie detectors" work (I mean Polygraphs). If I'm loyal specifically to the constitution of my country, and the interviewers ask if I'm "loyal to [My Country name]", how would that work?

  There’s a pad that you sit on that will register the flexing of muscles in the area.

      Remember that these things are basically ad-hoc devices that snake oil salesmen have convinced government agencies to buy into. The fact that your muscles near the buttocks move is enough for them to get the next level of the MLM, the interviewers, to be convinced that it can detect it.

        Look, I just want someone to finger my ass while I lie. Is that really too much to ask?
