A friend of a friend had to endure a five hour polygraph test, as part of the application for a secret service job. Five hours! This included questions like "have you ever had sex with an animal?" The last question, which he failed with flying colors, was "have you ever committed a crime for which you did not get caught?" He failed, but he said he couldn't think of any significant crimes. Speeding?
I wonder if the test was more about keeping secrets than determining his honesty.

MS Eff, appalled.
