Why is no-one using lie detector tests? Interviewers for example, why not use lie-detectors?

I don't think lie detector tests are considered as reliable as before. You also have to remember that some of these kooks actually believe some of the things they say, so they will pass the test with flying colors.

I don't think anybody making claims will volunteer for any kind of lie detector test, truth serum, hypnotism, etc. because they have nothing to gain. They are selling books and making money, why would they put it on the line? Even though they are telling the truth, if one of those tests come back negative then that person will lose credibility.

If they pass all the tests with flying colors, I don't think they would get that much more customers/fans/followers. Most skeptics will always be skeptics no matter what kind of evidence is put in front of them.

I agree with most of your points; however, you fail to realize that you might not think as your "average Joe" would. I believe the average person would wait for a celebrity endorsement.
Also, what is wrong with the fakers? I think they provide entertainment. At least they contribute to society by opening up peoples' minds, just as someone like Carl Sagan has done.
