Are the US ok? It's 2026 not 1926
- ceejayoz 9mo agoThe Feds love polygraphs. Still very much in active use.
- htek 9mo agoThe polygraph is still used for security vetting, today. No word on whether they still read a lamb's entrails for portents or consult the dead with a Ouija board.

- tremon 9mo agoIt's actually a few minutes to 1929, so that checks out.
- rbanffy 9mo agoFeels like 1935
- jabroni_salad 9mo agoThese days I think that thing's main purpose is to bounce people who would otherwise request access that they don't really need. If it isn't worth sitting down for the machine you don't really need it.
- Jach 9mo ago> Gottumukkala failed the polygraph in the final weeks of July. The Department of Homeland Security began investigating the circumstances surrounding the polygraph test the following month and suspended six career staffers, telling them that the polygraph did not need to be administered. This is pretty insane though.
