There already are, among other things weeding out crazies from becoming cops, and as many of us have found "in the field" even that!isn't always enough. But it's certainly better than not doing it.
Why not give them some some overtime and get them to pluck crooked law makers and others out of office? With modern polygraph technology where it is, I have a hard time believing it would make things worse.
This is actually a great idea. There could be a federal agency that conducts the polygraphs withing the Department of Justice. They have a complete mobile force or polygraph operators and analysts that would be responsible for polygraphing every single state, local, and federal police officer. They would also polygraph every teacher, school administrator, school board member, and school janitor. Congressmen, senators, their staff members and liaisons would be analyzed by this agency also, as would each and every of their state counterparts. And don't forget the secretary of state, department of motor vehicles, agriculture departments, department of transportation, and prison guards.
And judges. Supreme court justices. State supreme court justices. Their staffs. Federal judges. State judges. Dog catchers. Court referees. Magistrates. Court clerks, court jesters, and court reporters should all be tested too.
And the TSA. God knows those bastards make our life miserable when ever we want to fly somewhere. We have to strip half naked while they look through our luggage. Every single one of them should have to be polygraphed in their underwear while standing in line.
And then there are the child protective services caseworker that try to take kids away from parents all the time just because some neighbor has a gripe.
Then immediately the semi-annual polygraph a caseworker psychiatrist form the Department of Health and Human Services will conduct a psychiatric evaluation of all of the aforementioned people.
And we can have all done for free under the Affordable Health Care Act. It really shouldn't take anymore than 2 or 3 million federal agents to implement this program.
Yeah I think it's a great idea. Let's get it going. And anyone that opposes it will automatically be deemed as being a traitor. And put in prison. Of course all othe prison guards will have to undergo extra scrutiny and evaluation.
