That, coupled with the documented effectiveness of pre-employment screening, isn’t going to abolish the process.  It isn’t a perfect process and on occasion there will be a “false positive.”  And yes, there will be the occasional “false negative.”  But you can’t blame all the problems in the intelligence and employment field on the evil polygraph.  It is just one cog in the gear.

 

TheNoLieGuy4U,

What "documented efffectiveness" are you referring to?

"Occasional" false positive?

...it is reasonable to expect even with optimistic assessments of polygraph test accuracy that each spy or terrorist that might be correctly identified as deceptive would be accompanied by at least hundreds of nondeceptive examinees mislabeled as deceptive  NAS Report

How does it help the national security by relying on an UNRELIABLE process?

First step is to focus on the real "bad guys", and spend less time trying to defend a process that routinely eliminates honest, qualified, patriotic people, while at the same time let's people like Aldrich Ames sail through!

With all that said, I really don’t think you need to be concerned about a legal action being leveled at you.  Your efforts, although well written, are fairly insignificant when the whole picture is examined.

First you say that he will be dealt with swiftly and severely, then you post this.  And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously!
