I think such dissonance induced nervousness is most likely when a poly knowledgable person is polygraphed since they are fully aware of the "science" behind the polygraph.

Facing a poly with significant false positive probability during an initial interview would be a deterent, but not an absolute one, in the decision to pursue a career requiring one. Facing a poly every 5 years would likley keep me from applying for such a job at all. I would be unwilling to embark on a career with significant probability for arbitrary termination.

You've nailed on the head the primary reason I withdrew my candidacy for the NSA position.
