Psi Corps field operatives must be able to maintain a mental block against a telepathic probe for at least one hour to ensure that they're safe against attack by untrained rogues.
The Corps is training some of its members in offensive skills known as "mind shredding." A P10-rated shredder is a danger even to a P12-rated telepath, and a P12-rated shredder can kill a mundane telepathically in a matter of seconds.
The Corps' inability to detect multiple personalities is consistent with Talia's hidden personality ("Divided Loyalties.") Talia was in close contact, even linked briefly, with a group of telepaths ("A Race Through Dark Places") who failed to detect her alternate personality.

The parental motto of Psi Corps (which turns out to be quite literal for Bester's history) implies guidance/direction, yet the difficulties of "blips" also imply that the Psi Corps effort may be somewhat misdirected.

 Ursula K. Le Guin, Bryn Mawr Commencement Address, 1986
The essential gesture of the father tongue is not reasoning but distancing-making a gap, a space, between the subject or self and the object or other.
You didn't even hear the father tongue your first few years, except on the radio or TV, and then you didn't listen, and neither did your little brother, because it was some old politician with hairs in his nose yammering.
We can all talk mother tongue, we can all talk father tongue, and together we can try to hear and speak that language which may be our truest way of being in the world, we who speak for a world that has no words but ours.

 Voltayre's ENCYCLOPEDIA XENOBIOLOGICA: Psi Corps
According to Psi Corps propaganda, the impetus for her policy centered around the heroic act of William Karges, head of her personal security staff, and a secret telepath.

Psi Corps' role was to locate, control, and license telepaths for work in commercial, legal (with very stiff regulations), and military sectors.
According to the Psi Corps rules, all telepaths are forbidden from engaging in unauthorized scans.
