Polygraphs are notoriously unreliable which is why they are almost never admissible in criminal cases.

This is just a tool to terrorize.

Reposted from Federal Employee News

DHS has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to find leakers

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks about planned operations.

I wonder if their employment contract even allows for this. As noted, these things are not allowed in court for a reason. I don't see this ending well for the employees.

jgrclarke.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Absolutely, but I’d bet the orange guy believes they work. He clearly stopped taking in new ideas in the ‘80s

That is their new efficiency tool recommended by DOGE.

This can’t be legal?

How many ICE agents is Elon cutting? Asking for a friend.

There has to be a civil service law that prevents this.

Robert Hanson passed numerous polygraphs while selling secrets to the Russians.

They are illegal in private companies except under rare circumstances.

meritcandour.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Wow, I wonder which company got
the contract to administer the tests?
Is it possible they hired a company
that was just formed for the specific
purpose of obtaining the contract?
Or might it be an existing company
that has never taken any similar
contract before?
Hand picked by the Co-Presidents?

Is this legal? Let’s do a polygraph on who won 2020 election, sexual abuse, fraud, stealing of documents, participation with Epstein, etc. Let’s do that first.

eibbedetots.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Tell folks to take propranolol before the test.

paulcallahanmv.bsky.social•23 hours ago

No way, the puppy-killer is terrorizing her employees? I'm shocked. Another part of the terror campaign that has somehow flown under the radar is that Noem has made ads where she personally threatens immigrants and tells them to self-deport. One was targeted to me for some reason. In Spanish!

anything but blaming the whole 🍊💩🐒 regime with their violent, cruel, corporate-like takeover. let alone her literal TV commercials telling them she's coming for them. sure, the ads are in English, but they get the idea. i'm sure.

Just more cosplaying by Secretary Puppy Killer, now with props.

It’s my understanding that polygraphs r never admissible in a criminal trial. They r very unreliable. Only goons like Trump and his cultists find this conduct acceptable.

I give her untill end of May before she is fired for not getting all the brown black yellow out of the country! Unrealistic expectations so we will make them up anyway

Are you leaking ICE’s raid locations, Fokker?

They are having a low number of deportees because Biden was the deport king. Trump just claimed Biden wasn’t to get elected.

Isn't that illegal? To subject people who haven't been arrested or charged with anything to be forcefully interrogated?

lilpeggylou.bsky.social•21 hours ago

They should walk out. Nobody should be required to take that test. Mass walkout. Show the country how incompetent Trump is.

Tape a toothpick underneath your big toe, when they ask you the base questions - “is your name etc” squeeze your big toe so it pressures the toothpick. Just enough to feel it. Allegedly the pain will jack your baseline stats.

How was it a leak when the Tangerine Scream has said for months that the raids would be happening?

We can use them on the president and other elected officials if they are so useful.

jacc1330.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. I had to take one on three separate occasions and even though I was truthful, my results were "inconclusive" (or so I was told) and had to redo all but once. With an I/O Psych background I couldn't tell the polygrapher my thoughts based on all the research I knew. Just had to pretend.

afrowe.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Only ok if also done on entire administration - none of them would pass & could potentially break the machine (sobbing)

There are plenty of you tube videos on how to pass a polygraph. However one little known fact- most sociopaths can lie and pass a polygraph.

davidpower.bsky.social•22 hours ago

They require you to pass one to work for DHS or CBP as well

An attorney friend told me they’re attempting to measure butt movements now. I didn’t ask for any further clarification.
