The experience and integrity of the examiner certainly are important. They have ways to ask several test questions to account for nervousness. With record high disapproval rates for politicians these days I think offering to take a lie detector test would be a big show of faith of their innocence. IDK...they are all such big liars and snakes, perhaps it just would be paying off lie detector examiners, not sure how that would be managed so we could even trust those.
evade the detection of a lie by using various techniques such as faking a cold, squeezing the muscles of one's posterior, and so forth.
Yes the person giving the test has to do it properly BUT it is a known fact that there are ways to interfere with the responses that the machine picks up. The machine picks up physiological responses that can be manipulated. The tests are unreliable. That's why they are inadmissible in court.
