But thankfully I had somebody outside the room to watch.
So we got to be very, very careful when, when we use polygraph, how we use it and how we interpret the results.
I would agree that they shouldn't.
And the reason being is
If you look at Polygraph in the federal side, and I'm not saying federal examiners are better than state examiners.
I don't mean that at all.
But the bandwidth that we have from a quality control standpoint is amazing.
In the Secret Service, we would have quality control, NSA, these other agencies, FBI.
They make sure that you have, we're only going to test these people.
Here's the questions we're going to use.
Here's the format we're going to use.
If we record it, they're going to listen to it and make sure everything was done within quality.
And then there's going to be outside people that come in and look at that.
Whereas other agencies, they may use it when you probably shouldn't be using Polygraph.
And as a result, and there's no quality control or not as much.
And as a result, there's going to be mistakes.
And those are the mistakes that you see on podcasts like this or on shows or YouTube videos where they make the wrong call.
And it's usually the best Polygraph you run is the one you don't run.
Okay, I truly believe that.
And anytime I've made a mistake in polygraph, it was probably a test where we probably should have waited for DNA to come back or we probably should have given it some time.
