Does it bother me? Yes. But the real solution is to not have polygraphs at all, not to get upset that a few people didn't get them.

It'd matter more if polygraphs weren't completely bogus pseudoscience in the first place

Also there's the aspect of how many Americans view themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires. The average person doesn't want rules like this because they're sure it'll apply to them someday.
