The FBI alleged the case was still open in denying my original FOIA request. My lawyer had already confirmed the FBI had closed the case and the FBI belatedly recognized that fact when I appealed.

There is no legitimate reason for the FBI to redact either the polygrapher's name or the numerical scores assigned to the reactions on the polygraph charts. This latter practice, in particular, prevents an independent review of the FBI's numerical scoring of polygraph charts. No public purpose is served by withholding this information. It is simply a flight from accountability on the FBI's part.

The FBI provided my polygraph charts as part of their response to my FOIA request. As they did with Bill Crider's charts, they redacted the scores at each spot point and the agents' names. I did not go through my congressman's office and the FBI was not timely in responding. After an initial denial of my FOIA request, they did provide the data when I appealed.

I got all of mine back when i requested although they did redact the +/- score at each spot point. they also redacted the agent's names, as thought i didnt remember who they were. I followed the advice on this board for FOIA requests in that I got my congressan's office to sent the letter. it took 8 weeks. overall, i was impreseed with the process

Is it standard operating procedure for the FBI to release poly charts to former applicants from both first and second "not within acceptable parameters" test results? In other words, do all "failed" applicants receive their poly charts, or does the agency pick and choose who gets what? Has anyone received charts from both "failed" FBI poly exams?
