I mean the military doesn’t train you on how to cheat a polygraph, but it’s also not really necessary. The polygraph is security theater and people slip by it all the time in the intelligence community without trying.

There are unclassified quarterly audits on how effective the polygraph is at catching criminals on DOD security clearance polys. The funniest audit I saw was a guy who was smuggling drugs to Texas from Mexico since the '80s, passed a dozen polygraphs during his time doing that, and then admitted to drug running during his polygraph like 35 years later because he felt like it before retiring.

There was an old beardy white fuck who was a polygraph examiner at my job. He swore the polygraph wasn’t security theater and that it could tell when people were lying. I’d always ask him about the quarterly audits showing people “beating” the machine for years and get into fights with him. That dude also said his job was like “welfare for white people”.

Predate? You mean prey?

The “ANDREW CUOMO: FAILURE” at the bottom of the government site is some random shade, but I enjoy that at least. Fuck Andrew Cuomo

Ok I use my wired headphones

No matter what the protocol is, the chat is completely vulnerable once a single chat member’s phone gets infiltrated. There’s not a set of higher value targets in the world than the US president and his cabinet for actors like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and even Israel.

There is a reason national defense related discussion is meant to happen exclusively on a locked-down High-Side network, on exclusively locked-down High-Side equipment that exists exclusively in locked-down High-Side locations.
