“There are reasons why individuals were not required to take #polygraphs before. And I would question why now the #polygraph, & an overbroad #NDA is being required other than to #intimidate the workforce & ensure tighter #control,” Zaid added.
…The proposed NDA prohibits personnel from providing any info that is not public “without approval or through a defined process,” which aligns w/language the #DOD is currently requiring #reporters to sign to maintain their #Pentagon #press credentials.
When you’ve got something to hide…

Kash Patel & other Trump thugs rely on ever unreliable #polygraphs to track down, fire "#leakers."
As Russian spy Aldrich Ames, who fooled CIA polygraphs 10+x, said the most imp thing for passing a polygraph is that you seem calm, confident & the person testing you likes you.
The obverse would result in failure.
And we know how bloody minded MAGA is: if they want you to be guilty, then you are no matter what.

In several government agencies - including the #DHS, the #DOJ & the #DoD - managers told employees they would have to undergo #LieDetector tests, or #polygraphs, after unclassified information was reported in the media, 6 government workers told Reuters.
#Polygraph results are rarely used as evidence in U.S. courts because of doubts surrounding their reliability.

Maria Konnikova on polygraph testing / lie detectors:
“I will caveat this by saying that it’s impossible to tell when someone’s lying, and anyone who tells you that it is possible is full of shit,” Konnikova prefaced the interview. Here’s what else she said. What can blinking tell us? What is it about blinking that is so significant when it comes to trying to read people? The answer is: absolutely nothing. The bottom line, for people who have studied this for years and years, is that there is no such thing as a Pinocchio’s nose of lying. There is no way you can look at a person and be like, “This person is lying,” or “This person is not lying.” The person who develops that technology is going to be billionaire; this is why lie detector tests don’t work. What we can tell is if a person is experiencing cognitive load, which means they’re uncomfortable or there’s something going on in their mind that is overwhelming their processing capacity. There are signs of cognitive load, and those signs might mean that they’re lying — but they might mean something else, and there’s your problem."
