Thanks for the responses, I will seriously consider making that phone call and write about my experience, I just have to collect my thoughts and put it on paper.  Too me the whole experience was bizarre and I will never take another polygraph again.  All I was trying to do was apply for a career I always wanted and I get treated like a criminal.  I was told before the exam that it was going to take 4 to 5 hours (which it did both times).  I guess from that point I failed even before the ink was dry on my calendar.

My polygraph experience has stolen the wind from my sails and has left me angry and exhausted.  I have had to explain to my family and friends why I was not considered for employment.  Of course, they think it is laughable that the polygraph examiner thinks I have a criminal history that I am not disclosing.

It is amazing how the polygraph can be easily abused and manipulated by a examiner and there is no way of challenging them of their results.  Geez, that is a scary thought all by itself, that is too much power for one person to have.

As for the original question? Well it just got stuck on my head when I read the following articles (see below), I wondered how (and when)  these folks passed the polygraph, but then again, the polygraph doesnt work to begin with.
