Coward........And you know you are done, darn skippy you won't be posting and you will never see a LAPD badge ever......There is no other point, you have beaten the polygraph test but you clearly did yourself in by your ego, see the polygraph worked after all.

The magic hasn't faded?  Seriously, wouldn't it have been better to do a more thorough background investigation in lieu of trusting the polygraph?

It sounds to me like your statements here are largely wishful thinking, "Guest".  I'd rather rely upon something a little more concrete.  Good lord, man -- even if you're right that "Seals" can be identified, what on earth would you have done if he hadn't boasted of his performance in detail?  A passed polygraph would have been the "seal" of approval on this obviously unqualified candidate.

If anything, this appears to be a prime example of why the polygraph shouldn't be relied upon for decisions regarding an applicant's trustworthiness.  How many other unqualified individuals are breezing through, while the public is denied the service of those wrongly branded as liars?
