[George W. Maschke]

James Bamford's recent Foreign Policy article, "Watch Thy Neighbor: To Prevent Whistleblowing, U.S. Intelligence Agencies Are Instructing Staff to Spy on Their Colleagues" will be of interest to AntiPolygraph.org readers:

I noted in particular this passage:

In 2014, DNI James Clapper told Congress of plans to monitor 24/7 the electronic activity—"behavior on the job as well as off"—of employees with security clearances, a system known as continuous evaluation. In April 2015, the Defense Department reported that it was "directing multiple pilots and concept demonstrations ... to conduct [continuous evaluation] on approximately 100,000 military, civilian and contractor personnel."

Perhaps the experience reported to me by a Navy petty officer in 2013 was part of a pilot project:

Technology is a double edge sword. The internet can both enrich and impoverish. We are losing an entire generation to the cyber disease.

...a disease which is now in the pandemic stage, and for which there is no known cure!

And the story continues.  The government even advertised for a company, posting an RFI, that can provide this product on FBO.gov.
