I've handled polygraph cases for over 25 years & regularly lecture on topic. I've sued FBI over its policies. I've also rep'd many polygraphers & American Polygraph Association.

My knowledge is broad on both sides.

This is not how FBI or USG historically operates & is very disconcerting.

⚠️ #DYK that lost & abandoned fishing gear (AKA ghost gear) is the most harmful form of marine debris to wildlife?

Whether lost through entanglement on a rocky seafloor or an unexpected storm that blows fixed gear off course, ghost gear can continue to entangle wildlife even while no longer in use.
