Shaw, a professor with her PhD in forensic psychology, researched the effectiveness of training professionals to be human lie detectors along with Porter and another colleague.

2. The eyes are telling. I occasionally watch The Steve Wilkos Show & every

A sociopath can lie with total undetectability, including the ability to pass a polygraph no matter how skilled the operator. And it should be noted that almost all politicians are sociopaths to some degree; most of them to a very significant degree.
