I wouldn't consider anyone allied with the GOP an actual libertarian.
It's a marriage of convenience, enemy of an enemy and all that. I expect real libertarians wouldn't want government meddling in any aspect of our lives.

Not to mention the fact that such technology (lie detectors) are "junk science".

Nor would they vote for those who oppose gay marriage, reproductive choice, legalization of cannabis, etc.
He's just protecting his own agenda.

I found the news story. The best headline: Fake Libertarian Rand Paul...

Have a link to show context?
I suspect something more complicated than the questions offered.
A lie detector seems perfectly acceptable.
Anyone who doesn't like it as a condition of employment in such positions can resign.
You should see what I had to put up with for my secret clearance in aerospace.
Before that, I thought shaved weasels were just a joke.
And don't ask me about greased lemmings.

I'm listening to a couple of them on this libertarian/anarchist talk show as we speak.

We have our spectrum, ranging from the pragmatic to the fire breathing anarchists.
If one believes that government is necessary, & that sensitive functions require
security vetting, then lie detectors would be a useful part of such a system.
But to extend it to the general population....that would see much resistance.
