i dont see how you were duped. you admitted to something that you did that may be grounds for disqualification. you have to live with your decision to smoke that weed. its not about how to beat the system, its about innocent people getting F@#-ed by bogus polygraphs

I was duped because lie detectors can NOT detect lies, and had I known this, I would have NEVER admitted to anything. In short, they were forced to repeatedly lie to me in order to get me to admit to anything. Why is it unacceptable for me to conceal anything from them, but yet they should get a pass when lying to me?

I don't get it.

Honestly, at this point I could not care less if they want to hire me or don't. I will not be taking the job if it's offered, as I refuse to put myself in a compromised employment situation with my government owning me as an indentured  servant. I would have been taking a serious pay cut anyway, as my COE offered me significantly less than I currently make. It was foolish of me to even pursue this employment opportunity as I've jeopordized my current job by doing so, ex post facto.

My only concern is whether this failed process is going to screw up my current security clearance and jeopordize my current employment situation. Other than that, screw 'em ... I don't want the job anymore.

On a side note, the reason our national security is in such a shambles is because the Government can't afford to pay quality people what they're worth, and when one steps up to offer assistance they trip him up and hire somebody that knows how to beat the machine.

But I digress...
