Much debate has transpired over the reliability and validity of polygraph testing whether used in criminal, counterintelligence, preemployment, or other venues. The debate, though, has little discussion from either side as to its utilitarian component. As Warner discusses, the utilitarian value of the polygraph might surprise even the strongest critics when it comes to criminal testing and the results the device provides.

An enormous industry of products and services has emerged as employers attempt to make the best hiring decisions for their companies. Polygraph testing for employment was banned in 1988, according to attorney Joseph Schmitt in Legal Report, a professional journal. He co-chairs the Labor and Employment Practice at Halleland, Lewis, Nilan & Johnson P.A., in Minneapolis. However, he cites statistics of 2.5 million to 12 million people taking "honesty testing. Schmitt identifies two kinds of non-skill-based tests ferreting out undesirable applicants. "Overt integrity tests purport to communicate on their face what they are measuring . . .," he said.

Historically, fundamental decisions regarding the implications of new technologies have occurred very early in the life cycles of those technologies.3 For example, polygraphs have been in legal disrepute since 1923.4 This trend dates to the oft-cited, remarkably brief, almost universally misinterpreted Frye v. United States,5 which has been erroneously read to establish a per se rule against the admissibility of evidence obtained with a conventional lie detector.6 Similarly, the leading Supreme Court authority addressing confessions obtained with truth serum was decided over forty years ago, in the relative infancy of psychopharmaceuticals.7 These technologies have evolved considerably since the courts originally addressed them,8 however, the mere existence of these opinions have tended...

Typical Selection Practices A typical entry-level selection process involves recruitment, advertisement collection and verification of individual credentials, numerous examination stages (cognitive ability exams), physical ability screening, oral interviews, background checks, polygraph examinations and psychological screening. [...] polygraph examiners conducted pretest interviews in which applicants were encouraged to disclose information pertaining to their CWBs (e.g., terminations, arrests, marijuana use, other hard drug use, theft, violence, alcohol, and DUIs) that were to be questioned during the actual polygraph test. With this knowledge that integrity tests are predictive of important job criteria, are relatively inexpensive, provide economic benefits, and are legally benign, ...
