Mel,
Since I am a nervous sort of person, I've never been able to imagine
passing one, even without lying, so I too have always been bothered. It
could be that they can take this into account, but I'm not inclined to
trust them.
My view is that if employers requires a lie detector test, or a urinalysis
for that matter, then it is immoral to sign up with them, as well as it
being immoral for them to require the test. Pretty much for reason (2), the
Giant dominating the individual.
