A lack of compliance with the polygraph licence condition by a fourth individual also contributed to their recall.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Terrorists released on licence are placed on a number of strict conditions. Those sentenced to over a year in prison for terror offences and assessed as having a high risk of committing serious harm upon release are compelled to take lie detector tests within three months of their release, or face being automatically returned to prison.<\/p>\n<p>Offenders are also required to face an examination six months later.<\/p>\n<p>During the polygraph tests, specially-trained MoJ officials pose simple &#8216;yes\/no&#8217; questions about whether the offender is complying with the conditions.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently only five lie detector machines and five examiners trained to use them on terror offenders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/20\/02\/54383027-12651831-The_rollout_comes_after_terrorist_Usman_Khan_pictured_on_CCTV_co-a-7_1697765762595.jpg\" height=\"1253\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The rollout comes after terrorist Usman Khan (pictured on CCTV) convinced supervisors he was a reformed man before stabbing Cambridge graduates Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt to death at Fishmongers&#8217; Hall in London in 2019<\/p>\n<p>Electronic sensors measure sweat levels, breathing rate and blood pressure, which undergo involuntary tell-tale changes when questions are answered untruthfully.<\/p>\n<p>The lie detector machines are accurate to between 80 and 90 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The tests were introduced after terrorist Usman Khan convinced supervisors he was a reformed man before stabbing Cambridge graduates Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt to death at Fishmongers&#8217; Hall in London in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Sex offenders had been required to undergo lie detector tests since 2014.

same way as it does to an unexpected bang on the window at night, the examiner says.<\/p>\n<p>Primeval physiological responses show measurable changes in blood pressure, breathing rate, sweating and blood density in the extremities \u2013 often described as &#8216;fight or flight&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You have no control over that,&#8217; the examiner adds, ominously.<\/p>\n<p>I am fitted with

taking the test, which is video-recorded for evidential purposes.<\/p>\n<p>I am undertaking what is called a &#8216;peak of tension&#8217; test \u2013 a form of calibration experiment which is conducted before offenders begin the &#8216;real&#8217; examination which asks them about their activities.<\/p>\n<p>The test subject \u2013 me, in this case \u2013 is told to deliberately tell an untruth so the examiner can study how the body responds.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m instructed to lie about a series of coloured numbers posted on the wall in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>Each question is read out by a synthesised voice on a computer, so that no human speech inflections affect the test.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-second gaps between the questions only add to the tension.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

the important thing is to demonstrate the technology can register what involuntarily happens in my body when I lie &#8211; and that the examiner can correctly interpret what he sees on his laptop screen.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like such a simple exercise.<\/p>\n<p>But the knowledge that my body&#8217;s barely perceptible responses are being watched, measured and recorded makes it a disconcerting experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It feels a bit like a visit to the doctor&#8217;s surgery for some test results, a job interview, or waiting to turn over the examination paper at school, all rolled into one.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, the examiner shows me the results \u2013 a graph depicting how sweating and blood pressure reached a peak as I told that little fib.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
