Agree

I think you create a new agency. Then you extreme vet, starting wtih the low levels. When you've populated the new agency, you mothball the FBI and CIA, giving 6 months severence to the others and blackballing them from ever working in any agency of the US government for at least 33 yrs.

For extreme vetting, you use live-fMRI scanner as polygraph and to have them swear under oath to be loyal ONLY to the constitution and the people of the united states; and then you promise to SERVE the people of the united states and never yourself or your own family, tribe, organization, civic concern or ideology.

This way, any would-be mafiosos don't get in. No communists or subverts get in. Only service-oriented constitutionalists who preserve and defend people's rights, not those that undermine those rights, are allowed entry

People who say this is unreliable (this technology) have not evaluated it. No it's not perfect, but it's WAY MORE RELIABLE than the polygraph. The CIA (and probably FBI) are trained LIARS. They can easily beat the polygraph. They CANNOT beat the fMRI, but teh failure of the fMRI system is in the interpretation. The science is physics and can't be 'beat', just like you can't hide your electromagnetic field or your heat signature.

Also, fMRI is able--they say--to detect psychopaths by differentiating between non psychopath brainpatterns and psychopath brain patterns. Again, because this is a spectrum (normal to sociopath to psychopoath with differentiated levels of empathy and deviant ideation), it's not 100% and is open to interpretation. Therefore I would suggest a panel of 5-20 neurologists, who have double blind evaluations of a prospective applicant. So in their own little rooms, they give their input, and then they meet in a kind of quorum of 5, depending on who is there, to read teh evaluations in a separate session, together, kind of like a jury. They are able to give very detailed and specific evaluations, such as looking at 'layers' and circling parts of the brain and saying "I'd like to know more about this feature / pattern here in the prefrontal cortex....notice when we say something about privacy laws this lights up here....that might suggest either high authoritariansm or fascistic ideation...we should probably retest this applicant with a set of more specific questions around this topic, to see if they have any notions of undermining citizen's privacy for a 'so called 'higher calling'" for example
