Dear undesirable,

You situation sounds very similar to mine. During my first exam I explained that I had never used drugs in my life, but was deemed deceptive by the polygrapher regardless of what I had to say. I protested the results and was called in about a month later for a PSI, where I explained the same things – no drug use, ever. I had the second exam a month or so later, and again “had issues” on the drug question.

My impression from reading posts is that second exams are granted just to ward off accusations of not getting a second chance and to add ‘credibility’ to their initial ‘findings’ – a sort of insurance policy in the event that they are ever confronted. So long as you make no disqualifying admissions, you are almost always granted a retest; however, unless you have some on-of-I wouldn’t hold my breath about passing, at least not with the FBI.

Has anyone out there ever passed a second FBI poly? Better yet, has anyone had a third and passed?
