Dear Undesirable Candidate,

A time line of up to two months waiting for a response during the holiday period is not unreasonable.  After two months, I would send another certified return receipt letter with a photocopy of my first one asking for its status.   If you get no response within three months, I would start going up the FBI chain of command one letter per month until you get some sort of response.  If you want to privately e-mail me a message as the information comes in I might be able to clarify exactly what I did and what you could do.

Dear Two-Block,
I always liked your style, you young hearted gold-digger.  The FBI does not send you a letter that you "officially passed."  The only confirmation that you "passed" the polygraph test is that your background check begins.

The FBI never states that you "failed".  They stop processing the "conditional job offer" upon the candidate "not being withing acceptable parameters".  They never state that you are untrustworthy or deceptive in writing.  I do not question your method of challenging the system, it was just not the method I used.

Marty,

Your observation, that the assumptions made during control questions are bogus, is accurate.  I tend to agree with your previous discussions that countermeasure responses in general are very repeatable.  This exactness causes suspicion (as if enough did not exist in the polygraph room already).   I only wish that they would stop the whole nonsense of "polygraph" usage in prescreening.  I feel the agencies involved only end up destroying some of their credibility with highly educated applicants.

Happy Holidays All.
