When did the Secret Service start using the polygraph as part of their employment procedure?  From what I have read, the FBI started theirs when Louis Freeh implemented it in 1994?  I am just curious.

I am a new victim of the polygraph with the USSS, I acquired that title just a few weeks ago after taking two 'exams'.  Since then I have been trying to learn as much as I can about the polygraph and how I can get involved in stopping this junk science.  I was so nieve before taking the polygraph, I thought it was going to be a cake-walk.  Silly me  :(    

I think it is so sad that regardless of my qualifications and clean record and not to mention a clear conscience, "its up to one bigot with an agenda to end your career"  {sounds like a good poster to me}

I was thinking of posting my bad experience, but then I realized after hours of reading the forum and the personal statements section that I was just going to sound like a bad recording.
