And only four days in the classroom to turn a person into a human polygraph? Give me a break;
it takes twelve weeks to learn how to OPERATE an electronic polygraph!
Also note the requirements to even get a placement in this polygraph training school.
BASIC POLYGRAPH COURSE - ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
We strongly suggest that candidates have at least a four-year degree in one of the Social Sciences, and also investigative experience, as well as skills and experience in interpersonal interviews/interrogations. However, we will consider candidates who have combinations of formal education and other life experience credits, together with investigative and interview experience, if they convince the Director that discretionary waiver should be granted.
