We had to resort to a Google search so we could corroborate this post, because it sounded too good to be real. New FBI Director Kash Patel is getting serious about leaks to the press, so much so that he's using polygraph tests to root out the leakers.

Reuters reports:

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday it has started using polygraph tests to aid investigations aimed at identifying the source of leaks emanating from within the law enforcement agency.

"We can confirm the FBI has begun administering polygraph tests to identify the source of information leaks within the bureau," the bureau's public affairs office told Reuters in a statement.

That's huge and should make a lot of agents sweat.

A lot of commenters are saying that polygraph tests are unreliable, and FBI agents have been trained to beat them. Still, we're not going to complain. Again, a lot of people in the FBI are probably sweating right now.
