Haven't polygraphs been discredited as inaccurate by now?

They need to gather a pool of people who still believe in them, to administer them. Like DNA, the polygraph is a device that exists to ensure the replication of polygraphs.

Basically, at this point it is a screening tool for people who don't know how unscientific they are, and will get flustered going up against the process (not the device itself). I'm guessing they're assuming the rate of false positives for lying will be relatively low, such that they will still mostly screen out dishonest people.
