The Fifth Estate exposes a backstory few people know about - from a Mexican drug cartel and Australian biker gangs to gambling, money laundering and encrypted cellphones.

      That is out and out untrue@@michaelpatrick7888 . A polygraph never detects deception, ever. It attenpts to detect anxiety through changes to blood pressure and perspiration. There are in fact lots of reasons someone might have such changes, deceit is very low on that list. Polygraph has been demonstrated over and over for 60 years now, to be no more accurate at finding deceit than any random person without a polygraph. That is, it's demonstrated to be no better than just asking questions.
      It is a complete falsehood that only people without a conscious can "pass". There are in fact a number of providers offering 3 hour long courses that teach ANYONE to "beat" a polygraph. There are likewise videos on CZcams teaching the same for free. They are extremely easy to "beat" and it is extremely common for them to give false positive results to people who did nothing wrong.
      A polygraph is inadmissible in court because it has long been shown to be junk. They are deployed ONLY as a psychological tool at this point. That is, if you lie to a suspect by telling them you have a machine that knows when they're lying and they believe you, they just might confess on their own.
      Or to put that another way, they use it against naive and stupid people to try and get them to confess. Same as when you tell a suspect you have evidence that proves their guilt that you in fact do not have.
      Antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) has nothing to do with having or not having a conscious.

      @@theprince1795 BIGPHARMA is the worst. They are directly responsible for many deaths and much suffering. All in the name of the almighty dollar. But again, as a retired NURSE, I challenge you to find another profession that cares as much, studies harder, prepares better, and works as hard as, NURSES. We are there assisting you to get and stay healthy, caring for you when you are sick (look up what it means to care for someone on a ventilator or on ECMO), and finally we are there at the end, to comfort and ease the pain of dying when there is nothing else to be done. What other profession do you know that does that? What other professions cry at the end of a shift, take the pain home with them, and sometimes wake up from a dream about what else could we have done? And BTW, the salaries aren't always that great, the hours are exhausting, we are required to work on holidays, weekends, and nights, and there is zero tolerance for calling in unless we are really really sick. We miss family time, birthdays, anniversaries, many holidays, weddings, first steps, first days of school, and funerals. We have to fight to be there to care for the sick in our own families and even ourselves. And we have to take an awful lot of abuse from families, patients, doctors, administration--but we forgive, because we know people are suffering and hurting. So, the next time you are sick and need care, try thinking a little kindly towards your NURSE. I regard being as a NURSE as a SACRED CALLING.

I had a former coworker who was a certified polygraph examiner and was a State level Secretary/Treasurer who once told me to never agree to take one so I told her that and she said “Good advice.” I got to my first duty station and I was one of a handful of people who actually got a permanent clearance and everyone else had interim clearances.

    Over the years, through horrific blunders like the loss of all the evidence relating to the bombing of Air India Flight 182, I've come to see that the RCMP is a collection of incompetent, bungling, bullies, misogynists, racist egomaniacs. Sure, there are many decent, honest, hard-working officers in the RCMP, but the organization itself is a disgrace and an embarrassment to Canada. It should be cleansed from top to bottom with the background and performance of every member, starting at the top, being reviewed and scrutinized in depth by an unrelated third party. If "issues" are detected, that member should be fired immediately with no severance pay and where possible, the termination of RCMP pensions. This hallowed "institution" has become a stain on the reputation of Canada.

With his level of expertise and intelligence "the smartest guy in the room" could have achieved anything he wanted. What he wanted had nothing to do with brand new Range Rovers. Those "toys" did not interest him. He lived too modestly for that. What he wanted was an adrenaline rush..... power... and most importantly....respite from boredom. At some point being the smartest guy in the room was a given. It ceased to be the ego buster it once was .... long ago. Then he found it. The perfect outlet.
