Here's another one from 2017 that is similar to many posts here/

It's a little old but very relevant to many people on the site

My favorite line in this:

"The whistleblower complaint says members of the DEA's polygraph unit undergo 14 weeks of training 'thought to be the most difficult and challenging school a federal agent can attend.'"

The cult of polygraphy never ceases to amaze me in their never-ending sense of narcissism, self-importance, and self-flattery.
