I have often believed that a "loyalty oath" could serve the same purpose as the polygraph and/or BI. If an employee then engages in espionage (for whatever reason), s/he could be prosecuted for perjury as well as for secrecy/national security violations.

I recently watched on YouTube the 1985 testimony of traitor Christopher Boyce pertaining to his service to the Soviet Union.  His first portion of testimony dealt with the fact that he never should have been hired.  He highlighted his background investigation that was a superficial joke.  He was a counter-culture druggie and the background investigation only included interviews of his retired FBI Agent father's friends.  Therein lies the problem.  It all comes down to the BI.  I think there is more nepotism, favoritism, PC, and "old boy", now sometimes "old girl" networking, than ever before.  People are getting selected for positions for all of the wrong reasons and no one in authority has the guts to address this issue head on.  The Government slugs in personnel are more interested in making sure their paperwork looks good than in really addressing quality in our workforce. 

The next part of Boyce's testimony was enraging.  This traitor POS starting lecturing Senators Cohen (former Clinton Secretary of Defense), Gore (former VP), Nunn (Rep-GA) and other committee members on how he would have never applied for the job if he was given a polygraph exam.  He lectured these stooges on why we need to polygraph everybody.  It appears that these lackluster politicians chose to follow the advice of a traitor rather than really digging into a careful analysis of the problem by listening to what he was saying.  I wonder how much this singular testimony by a despicable traitor played into our current polygraph policy? :o
