NSA Director Mike Rogers spoke at Stanford University's Hoover
Institute this past weekend, and a faculty member asked him what the
NSA is doing with regards to personnel security to stop another
incident like Edward Snowden's release of classified documents.

Interestingly, the first and primary measure that the NSA director
mentioned was polygraph testing. It's interesting because polygraphy
is a thoroughly discredited pseuodoscience. It depends on the person
being "tested" being ignorant of the trickery on which the procedure
relies.

How ironic that America's most technologically sophisticated
intelligence agency relies on early 20th century pseudoscience as the
keystone of its personnel security program.

Screening" on the AntiPolygraph.org blog:
