This trust is quickly destroyed when security staff commit a crime, which is often due to inadequately prescreening job candidates during the interview process. "Since guards are trusted with customer access codes and/or keys to their facility, it's imperative to have an efficient and thorough screening process," said Brett Magleby of Salt Lake City-based Panther Security & Investigations. "It is a huge liability for a security company to have someone knowingly dishonest in a customer building or secure site.

Lie detectors have always been suspect. AI has made the problem worse. - MIT Technology Review Lie detectors have always been suspect. AI has made the problem worse. - MIT Technology Review Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:00 AM PDT MMU put out a press release in 2003 touting the technology as a new invention that would make the polygraph obsolete. "I was a bit shocked," Rothwell said, "because I felt it was too early." The US government was making numerous forays into deception-detection technology in the first years after 9/11, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DoD), and National Science Foundation all spending millions of dollars on such research. These agencies funded the creation of a kiosk called AVATAR at the University of Arizona. AVATAR, which analyzed facial expressions, body language, and people's voices to assign subjects a "credibility score," was tested in US airports...

Why Lie Detector Tests Can't Be Trusted - Smithsonian.com Why Lie Detector Tests Can't Be Trusted - Smithsonian.com Posted: 25 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT Francis Gary Powers had his first polygraph experience right after signing up as a pilot for the CIA's U-2 program in January 1956. In his memoir, Powers described being called into a room where he was confronted with the question, "Any objection to taking a lie detector test?" Though I had a great many, I didn't voice them, shaking my head. If this was a condition of the job, I'd do it. But I didn't like it. … I had never felt so completely exposed, as if there was no privacy whatsoever.

Few caregivers are punished. - msnNOW Posted: 21 Mar 2021 09:13 AM PDT A cache of documents pried loose after USA TODAY's investigation in October  into Florida's child welfare system reveals allegations of foster care abuse are more widespread than previously reported.   The nearly 5,000 records detail calls to the Florida Department of Children and Families abuse hotline from teachers, health care professionals, day care workers, neighbors and others about the treatment of kids in state care.  None of these cases would have been counted in what Florida publicly reports each year about the number of serious abuse, neglect and abandonment allegations in its foster care system.
