John: If you are going to cry and throw up at mere words than maybe you should think about another profession.  What will you do when confronted with a dangerous situation where life and death issues are at stake?

retcopper:

Your statement shows your true ignorance as the situations to which you make this comparison are very different from one another and don't necessarily correlate. ALL POLYGRAPHERS DO NOT TREAT EXAMINEES THE SAME WAY. Some are extremely abusive. You have no idea what Johnn's experience was like, you  can only judge by what yours was like or what you think a polygraph is like. Besides, you don't know what position he was applying for , now do you? He could have been going for a janitor position, for all you know--pretty dangerous profession, huh? The FBI polygraphs ALL applicants, regardless of background, experience or the position for which they are applying. Also people are different--for example, their backgrounds or professional experiences mold annd shape who they are and the level of intensity to which he or she may be accustomed. Furthermore, it's not about an examinee not being tough enough to handle an examiner's brutality---it's about one's integrity getting trampled upon after being taken down to a level of complete honesty. That's something you probably couldn't  understand --it's most likely you've never been there.
