Ted, you posted the following: "I took my polygraph with LAPD last month and passed it"...."I took the interview and scored a 96"..."I lied about my drug history by saying I tried marijuana twice and never touched anything else."  You then listed the exact questions on the test and your exact responses to the post-test questions. You better hope there were plenty of applicants who took the poly last month, reported using marijuana only twice on their application forms, AND scored a 96 on the interview portion of testing. In addition, examiners do keep a record of the exact questions they ask on each test; and keep in mind, these questions are generally changed from test to test. Nice try to cover your tracks though.  It may not be tomorrow or next week but this will catch up to you.

Ray,

Assuming that the details that "Ted Seals" posted in his first message are accurate, then I agree with you that they may well provide an adequate basis for his identification. However, I think doing so would be against the interests of the LAPD polygraph unit because it would necessarily entail informing others in the LAPD (and the Public Safety Hiring Division) that they had miserably failed to detect both deception and countermeasures. In addition, it would lead to personal embarrassment for whoever turned out to be the polygrapher who passed "Ted Seals" (as well as the presumably more senior polygraphers who conducted "quality control").
