Can't help myself

From RBB:

Rationally, I think we've worked the Thickets of Psychopathy to the hilt -- almost, almost.  But I can't help this regarding the guy who sees "subliminal psychopathy" lurking everywhere.

A job applicant -- any job of "substance" -- goes through the conventional procedure, replete with interview[s] and such background checks as credit, Google, etc.  Comes through this like a shining adult Eagle Scout.

But then, he or she is told that there is another step in the Process.  The applicant has to be interviewed by Dr X, the resident shrink.

Dr X, after having surveyed the applicant's body language and eye contact and sweating factors, gently informs the person that there is a final standard step:  determination of potentially positive and/or potentially negative subliminal latencies.  The applicant is given the choice of "professional" hypnosis, sodium pentothal [also used in executions], or a 33 page written exam [far, far beyond and vastly more intricate than the Old Army testing joke, "Do you like girls?"]

Meanwhile, the House and Senate have moved to set up investigating committees to pursue Dangerous Latencies.  The President seeks and secures a special Bureau with the power to demand subliminal exams for anyone deemed potentially threatening to National Security.
