What impact did Frye vs United States have on CSI?

You know, Fry is a very interesting case. Fry was a defendant in a criminal matter and he was being prosecuted by a law enforcement authority, and his attorney wanted to enter into evidence the results of a polygraph or lie detector test that apparently he had passed. The court, however, did not allow it. Ultimately, the case was appealed, and the attenite court ruled that the court was correct in not allowing the test for its admissibility because even to this day, the polygraph has not achieved general acceptability as an appropriate scientific test by the forensic science community. So Fry sets the standard. This allows individuals coming into court and testifying as to any sort of scientific principle or concept that expert think is appropriate because the court will say, "wait...does it meet the Fry standard? Is that concept or principle generally accepted by the forensic science community?" And if the court rules that it's not, then that evidence cannot be entered into the court proceeding.
