because lie detectors are ineffective when dealing with chronic liars and psychopaths.

Ha! nice. And true. But I'm reminded of the Futurama episode where Nixon is running for Earth President, and he's in the debate: Morbo: Tonight's candidates are, Puny Human Number One, Puny Human Number Two, and Morbo's good friend, Richard Nixon! Nixon: Hey, Morbo! How's the family! Morbo: Belligerent and numerous! ... Morbo: Morbo demands an answer to the following question! If you saw a baby with a piece of candy, would you take it from them? John Jackson: Unthinkable! Jack Johnson: I wouldn't think of it Morbo: And you, Mr Nixon, and may I remind you that you are under a truthoscope! Nixon: <sweating> Well, er...the question is er...vague! You don't specify what kind of candy it is! Or if anyone's watching! <wipes away sweat>. Well, at any rate I certainly would NEVER harm the child. <Truthoscope goes crazy!>
