@mtracey As @jruss_jruss pointed out, Judge Caproni said "mazel tov" in connection with two of the brothers having passed polygraph "tests" arranged through their lawyers. Her sarcasm was warranted: https://t.co/bPBRg4JHxT

@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.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@FBIJobs Before you "Kash in," you'll have to submit to a bogus polygraph "test" that depends on the operator lying to and deceiving you. False positives are common and result in lifelong blacklisting.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@GuntherEagleman Polygraphs don't work. They're a thoroughly discredited, century-old, cop-invented pseudoscience.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@CandyHazenBell @SteveFriend @Mommajo64221025 @dbongino As a rule, the FBI does require applicants to submit to pre-employment polygraph screening. But this is an administrative requirement instituted by former Director Louis Freeh, not a legal mandate. Evidently, the Director of the FBI has the authority to waive this requirement.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@SteveFriend @Angelmeatballz @dbongino On what basis do you assert that Bongino took a polygraph? Do we really know that for a fact? Would not the polygraph having been waived for him entirely also be a possible explanation?

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@Angelmeatballz @SteveFriend @dbongino Who denied that Kash Patel waived the polygraph requirement for Dan Bongino? When Pro Publica reported on this, the FBI declined to say what in Pro Publica's reporting the FBI considered to be false.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@SteveFriend @dbongino It's ironic that the FBI's polygraph screening requirement was waived for Dan Bongino because he has in the past expressed enthusiasm for polygraph screening (of others): https://t.co/JHwqOFeG7n

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.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@fchow8888 @extremearturo Yes, I have an agenda, but it is hardly a hidden one. Regarding polygraphs being "pretty good," the scientists who have reviewed it have concluded otherwise.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@fchow8888 @extremearturo That seems to be how CIA spy Harold James Nicholson and FBI spy Robert Hanssen were identified.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@fchow8888 @extremearturo It's not surprising that with 20/20 hindsight, the FBI polygraph unit could claim to find signs of deception in Ames' polygraph charts. For a documented critique, see p. 36 ff of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector: https://t.co/kmmbZbp9Xe

[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?!?

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@fchow8888 @extremearturo Aldrich Ames did not fail his CIA polygraph examinations. On the contrary, he passed them.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@spycraft101 It's noteworthy that @DefenseIntel's cherished polygraph screening requirement did not deter Laatsch's attempted espionage. Had he attempted to spy for a less subservient country than Germany, he may very well have succeeded.

[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."

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@spycraft101 One might have thought that given their experience with their intelligence officer, Larry Wu-Tai Chin, who beat the polygraph to penetrate the CIA, Chinese intelligence would be more skeptical of polygraphy. For commentary, see: https://t.co/Ud17febmUh

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@420joke Evidently, the Germans promptly notified the US government of Laatsch's approach, allowing the FBI to pose as German officials from the outset.

[AntiPolygraph.org @ap_org]

@spycraft101 The CIA was (and remains) so foolish as to rely on polygraph chart readings to vet the agents they recruit. But the Cubans have long understood that polygraphs are easily beaten. As an example, see the case of Cuban intelligence officer Nicolás Sirgado: https://t.co/gwi5kEPj7P
