Excerpt from The Use of Polygraphs and Similar Devices by Federal Agencies: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, Ninety-Third Congress, Second Session; June 4 and 5, 1974 The American Civil Liberties Union strongly Opposes compulsory submission to any form of mechanical lie detector test.

Simply put, this is an updating. Second, over the past several years technological changes have occurred in both fields which have grave implications on the question of invasion of privacy. It is time to look at these developments"--Page 1.
