Lie detectors (so-called) are not admissable in a court of law, and there might be a good reason for that. What can it be? Oh, yeah, now I remember.

THEY'RE NOT RELIABLE.

For instance, someone whose religion teaches them that it's not only ok, but is admirable to LIE to non-Muslims, could lie without leaving so much as a blip on the graph. Sociopaths are notorious for passing "lie" detector tests.

Believe what you want. I suspect that your main complaint about "jumping to conclusions" is that some of us have "jumped" (after looking at the evidence available) to different conclusions than you did.

Your point seems to me to have been that these people should have been happy to be arrested, rather than "whining" about how loud and mean the NPD cops were, versus how polite and professional the FBI were. To me, that looks like you jumped to a conclusion. Since I was re-citing your very early post on this thread, I also pinged you to my comments. You've not been quite so flamboyant in your posts since, so I expect you've moderated a bit. Have you ever had a run in with the Norman PD? (I seem to remember that you live around here, somewhere, too.) My experience with them is second-hand, but it leads me to think these guys have good reason for their complaint.
