fMRI machines are still quite expensive and require a technician to operate and calibrate. They also require the subject to be sitting/lying still inside the machine while it is being operated in order to get any kind of useful measurements.

Not really sure what the consensus among neuroscientists and psychologists is with regard to weather they are reliable lie detectors or not though.
