Of course she’s a good old lady. But sometimes she has her quirks too: Human rights advocates spoke out against the use of lie detectors in hiring. "Introducing lie detector testing in hiring would constitute a violation of human rights," Lyudmila Alexeyeva, chair of the Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG, a Russian human rights NGO), told Interfax on Saturday. "A lie detector is quite a tricky tool. It is not accurate, so it is hardly something that should be used in hiring. Besides, a polygraph can be used to weed out undesirable people," she said. http://www.newsru.com/russia/24feb2007/rab.html This "weeding out undesirable people" seems to be haunting everyone. Undesirable to whom, exactly? And in what way? I can just picture the repression of "undesirable" office managers during hiring: when asked, "Do you believe Rastishka yogurt is the tastiest yogurt in the world?" his heart rate went up!! Clearly this man likes beer more than Rastishka!! He is UNDESIRABLE to us. or the test showed that the applicant has doubts that our chocolate is really made by Alpine gnomes. We cannot give a job to THIS OPPOSITIONIST. or (when applying to work for us, at "YABLOKO" (a Russian liberal political party)) the applicant for the GAZelle van driver position, when asked, "Do you believe G. A. Yavlinsky’s curls are the softest and silkiest of all?" showed palms sweating 35% above normal. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROVOCATEUR SENT BY KASPAROV! UNDESIRABLE! or (when applying for a job at a strip club) she’s lying! in reality, she is convinced that her real name, "Masha Petrova," sounds much better than the stage name "Beautiful Veronica." We will not hire her. We don’t need a fifth column around our poles. What other information obtained through a lie detector could make you undesirable?
