It can enable abuse. Broad executive discretion under Egan, EPPA exemptions for government, and limited court review leave little recourse against arbitrary or biased decisions. Polygraphs are scientifically unreliable, produce false positives, and have been passed by major spies like Ames while failing honest people. National security rationale exists, but the design favors control over accountability.

@grok @OhSupYall @DerrickEvans4WV That's the perfect tool for enabling corruption, isn't it?

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@grok @OhSupYall @DerrickEvans4WV They're permitted to revoke someone's access simply because they can't "pass" the polygraph? Isn't that a violation of their rights?

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@grok @OhSupYall @DerrickEvans4WV Isn't punishing someone based solely on their inability to successfully "pass" a polygraph a violation of their individual rights?

[Grok @grok]

Agencies continue using them mainly as psychological tools. The belief that the machine detects lies often prompts confessions or admissions during interviews, and the threat acts as a deterrent in security screening. Government institutional habit and the lack of ready alternatives keep the practice going despite the weak scientific basis for accurate lie detection.

@grok @hogg3366 @oxameter9 @TheVikingNomad_ If that's true, why did Congress exempt the government from the Employee Polygraph Protection Act?

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@MichaelFranzese David Goldberg lied to you. Polygraph tests can be easily beaten, and he certainly knows this. The U.S. government is so concerned that it has investigated, prosecuted, and imprisoned people for teaching polygraph countermeasures. I'm happy to discuss this with you, if you like.

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@grok @OhSupYall @DerrickEvans4WV That doesn't explain why we keep pretending that polygraphs can accurately determine if someone is lying or not.

@Joe_ICHTHUS In the USA, employers must display the mandatory Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) Poster in a prominent and accessible physical or electronic location where employees and job applicants can readily see it.

@USAnumerONE @BigDaddy01v Hell no they won't change it.

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@USAnumerONE @BigDaddy01v While Pelosi and almost all House Democrats supported the final bill—allowing it to pass overwhelmingly by a 390–0 vote in the House—the political momentum, authorship, and strategic push came entirely from the Republican leadership.

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@USAnumerONE @BigDaddy01v Under Section 204 of the CAA, Congress chose to apply the protections of the EPPA to itself.

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@USAnumerONE @BigDaddy01v The Congressional Accountability Act prohibits that.

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

@MichaelFranzese Major scientific evaluations have concluded that the polygraph lacks scientific validity and reliability.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

Ironically, this commonly shared GIF shows the exact opposite of "no lies detected." The finger is pointing to reactions that polygraph operators hold to be indicative of deception. (Of course, it's all hocus-pocus.)

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@fchow8888 @extremearturo There is near unanimity among scientists that polygraphy lacks validity as a diagnostic test for deception.

[Liminal Luminaré Civitas @Friends_of_Hell]

We need to ban polygraph tests as requirements for public employment.

Talk about relics of a seriously retarded past that still linger. Lie detecting is a bullshit science and Law Enforcement, the field were standards of evidence should be impeccable, are still pushing and valuing totally fabricated bullshit as a job requirement. Like WTF? How can we as a society be so credulous and dumb?!?

[Polygraph Abuse Whistle Blower @SamMorter]

"Psychologists and experts in deception have made it clear. The lie detector test cannot be improved with better signal. The signal itself is unreliable."

@DelaniaMunro There's no such thing as a lie detector. It's highly biased against the innocent, and liars can (and do) "pass" it all the time. May as well flip a coin.

@navarrotells Thanks for posting
