I mean, unironically, this is what polygraphs exist to accomplish. They aren’t reliable instruments and a lot of the “results” boil down to a technician trying to figure out if your heart rate increase or sweaty palms are a result of you lying or the AC in the room not running properly.

It’s about intimidation, not results.
