I am taking a test for Fairfax County Dispatcher testing, not a police officer, not the CIA but a dispatcher. I saw some of these websites around and thought wow they are just a bunch of paranoid, conspiracy theorists who obviously have some character flaws. I admit, this was my thought when i first looked at your website. https://antipolygraph.org/blog/?p=424 2010-03-09T15:40:00+01:00 AntiPolygraph.org has obtained a copy of an NSA leaflet titled, "Your Polygraph Examination: An Important Appointment to Keep."

Maybe I figured that now since everything's in the past that one of these days I'd be out of its shadow. This sadly, is not the case. In 2007, I was an Electronic Warfare technician in service with the United States Navy. I'd been stationed on an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer for the previous five years, and was just about done with my hitch. I'd been weighing options for shore duty, and since EW's had been combined with Cryptologic Technician (Technical), all kinds of exciting three-letter-agency shore duty billets had opened up - I was qualified since all of us had to be read in to TS/SCI. I had a CI poly in 2005, and it went about as textbook as you can imagine. I stared straight ahead, did everything I was told, walked out as TS/SCI with a CI poly on my record. When the time came to fight for orders, I managed to secure a billet in Aurora, Colorado working for a satellite branch of the NSA at Buckley AFB. The one hitch was that they liked to have a polygraph within 6 months of the servicemember reporting. Everything was set up for me to take the CI poly the day before I was to start my transfer - I even got schooling in Pensacola en-route, with a nice re-enlistment bonus. I was very much looking forward to the day that I'd leave the grey waters and dreary sea rotation of Norfolk behind me, and continue serving my country in a choice location. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1264066297 2010-01-21T12:36:00+01:00 Polygraph operator and criminal justice professor Ronald Phillip Bae of Cottonwood, Alabama has been indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of sexual abuse.

I just had to pass my polygraph and physical and I was ready to go. This was the first polygraph test that I've ever taken and I was not nervous at all about passing it.
