Do you think polygraphs (lie detector tests) are foolproof? Should their results be allowed to be used in court cases?

No. It looks too cartoon-ish. Even if the device is capable of telling the truth, there's the possibility of false negatives and positives. Plus there's some philosophical discussion over trusting its results, but it's too much for my understanding.
