But they DON'T prevent cheating. If anything regular exams help teach the people how to beat the machine. It's way less than not perfect, it's randomized to the point of being basically useless.

The Ames affair is an anomaly and you will get one.IMHO, it looks like they have corrected it and I have not heard a CIA spy case in quite a while.It looks like they have fixed the mistakes and have revampted their methods.
