Canada's National Security and Intelligence Review Agency finds CSE's polygraph use violates rights and lacks scientific support, urging discontinuation or improvement.

A watchdog report from Canada's National Security and Intelligence Review Agency criticizes the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) for its use of polygraphs in security screenings. It highlights potential violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, inadequate privacy protections, and the lack of scientific support for polygraphs' reliability. The report urges the CSE and federal government to address these issues or discontinue polygraph use.
