Plan B idea going cheap

[threaded]

Apparently they're to announce in the Queens speach, or at least hidden in the small print, a plan to polygraph benefits claiments.

So the "Plan B" is to franchise out the training on how to pass polygraph tests.

Any takers?

Well seeing as the British government seems to be a big pile of kak at the moment, why not:

- offer to buy it, in effect privatising it
- outsource the various departments to offshore companies
- sell off to the highest bidder

Surely this would be a sure fire hit with them as that is what they preach to industry?

I'm sure I read somewhere that polygraph tests cannot be taken as irrefutable proof of a subject's honesty or veracity ?

Something to do with the fact that a polygraph measures changes in the skin, which can be caused, ironically by the fact of having a polygraph test in the first place.

If you do rely on polygraphing, then you need to have multiple testers and machines and also conduct multiple tests apparently.

All the test will tell you is that there are changes in the person's skin.

Whether these are caused by the question asked, them thinking about something unrelated to the test (like a driving test next week perhaps ?), or getting the hots (or colds) for the tester is another matter.

According to a BBC program I saw once, its very easy to beat. Just clench your buttocks on the control questions.

Depends who you work for I guess :-)

It's a cracking club (or should I say "smacking"), and the costumes are fantastic.

The 1940's dance room was good, with guys and girls dressed in wartime clobber (some of which is authentic) dancing to Glen Miller and Big Band music (I kid you not !)

Club Antichrist is next on my list, as it plays more my sort of music (goth industrial) but a little bit of jazz and swingtime was good at the room in TG and suited the attire.

WTW, they measure much more than skin. Think heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate.

Take a zen course, you'll be fine.
