They are nothing alike. The polygraph is a useful interrogation device. These bomb "detectors" are an outright scam.
Edit: For the downvoters, I'm well aware that polygraphs are much more art than science which is why they're inadmissible in court (in the US). They're not that useful for detecting lies. As I said, they're a useful tool in the interrogation toolbox.
- ihsw 13y agoIn what way would the polygraph be superior to the Quadro device in the article? The polygraph's effectiveness is limited to the technician's ability to instill fear and doubt in the subject, which can just as easily be accomplished by the Quadro device. Polygraph test results may be inadmissible in court but confessions collected as a result of the polygraph examination process are perfectly admissible, despite test process being as intimidating and hostile as possible.
