Dear Fletch,

I have had three and passed the third one. I will not rehash all the details because they were posted and available in the archives.

I believe that the FBI has the right to use any test they want but the FBI also has the responsibility to offer reasonable methods to contest results based only on polygraph examinations.  They have the obligation to use only researched or documented facts.  The polygraph can not be used to prove innocence or guilt in a court of law by itself and the denial of empolyment should be treated accordingly.  

As it is right now, appeals are difficult and not well structured.  The FBI almost wants an applicant to think that they do not even exist when letters are sent out stating that "results were not within acceptable parameters."

There is no appeal information and an applicant is blackmarked in any future federal application which uses polygraphs.

This does not sound like an organization which is dedicated to defending the "Spirit" and Law of the Constitution.  The FBI is a great organization and this does reflelct well upon them.

Regards
