New York polygraph expert Joel Reicherter shared sample questions an examiner might ask, using a fictitious case: An envelope of money was stolen from a office, and a 34-year-old employee, Chris, is a suspect. During the pretest, Reicherter would spend up to an hour asking questions to get acquainted with Chris. He'd ask Chris if, aside from what he's being accused of now, he has ever taken anything of value from someone. Chris would probably say, "No.

It's been derided by skeptics, banned from many courtrooms and relegated to prank questions on reality TV - but the polygraph just won't go away.

A polygraph examination conducted prior to their turn on the hot seat determines whether they're being honest. The night I watched, a young woman -- with her boyfriend, sister and mother on the set -- was asked whether she had ever left the scene of an accident, whether a bartender had refused to serve her because she was already intoxicated and among the more hurtful questions, whether she believed she deserved a better- looking boyfriend.
