NewVictim,

Welcome to the message board. I can't answer your question regarding when the USSS began using polygraph. Maybe someone else out there might know?

We welcome your efforts in joining us to try to put an end to polygraph savagery. Getting the word out on exactly what goes on during polygraph interrogations is part and parcel of educating the mostly oblivious public and legislative branch of government on polygraph matters. This is why I'd like to get you to reconsider submitting a personal statement. Each person's statement is unique, despite the fact that all of us are reporting disturbing experiences. You will not sound like a broken record to us. Quite to the contrary, your statement will supply yet another piece of evidence against the polygraph camp. Remember that every examinee here knows where you're coming from.

You can feel free of-course to remain as anonymous as you deem necessary. You can still get your point across anonymously. You may have noticed that some statements include the actual names of the polygraphers. If you remember those in your case, you could include them if you wish.
