Author	Topic: Miami Herald: "After criticism, Obama officials quietly craft new polygraph policy "
Dan Mangan Member	posted 01-25-2013 07:20 AM Perseverance pays off. Here's an interesting piece by Marisa Taylor of McClatchy Newspapers. http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/24/3198989/after-criticism-obama-officials.html Bottom line: Looks like NAS may be taking a look at the "new, improved" polygraph, with the hope that there have been "fundamental changes" since 2002. The story lists a few mods to current policy. These are small steps to be sure, but at least the Obama Administration is paying attention. I wonder if they know about the story claiming that DoDPI suppressed a study suggesting that innocent blacks are more likely to fail the polygraph "test" than innocent whites...

Like the way cops run polygraph "tests." But when it comes to the bigger picture, I think it's more worthwhile to take note of developments, research and opinions that are formed outside of PDD Fantasyland. Hey, I can understand why many polygraph operators are content to stay covered under the cloak of imaginary legitimacy. It's cold out there in the world of rational thought and evidenced-based practices. I do appreciate your point of view, however. So much so that I'm wondering if you'd be willing to contribute more in this regard, maybe even go on camera. See, I'm laying the groundwork to increase public awareness about polygraph. I've decided to bypass Katelyn Sack and go right to one of the most influential media giants of our time, filmmaker Michael Moore. Ever hear of him? He's the activist who directed and produced several documentaries, including Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine. Anyway, Mr. Moore is well known for presenting a comprehensive view on any given issue. For example, I can vividly recall several of the gun nuts he featured in Bowling for Columbine. They made quite an impression! I'm confident you could do something similar for polygraph. Would you be interested in helping out with the project?
