    I had clients in federal probation whose freedom was dependent on the results of annual polygraphs. Refusal was considered a fail, and they’d be shipped back to FedMed or prison. Inconclusive results were also blamed on the clients, and would count as a failed test.

    Was total bullshit, especially given the level of function and serious psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses of my clients.
