You can appeal for a second test by writing to the person who sends you the "not within acceptable parameters" letter and asking for a retest. However, please do not be fooled like I was into thinking that the agency will let you pass and clear your name.

Polyfool,
I thank you for your sentiments, but I will not request for a retest.     If I fail, they will definitely get an earful (via letter) from me.  If I pass, I am renouncing the position.  I no longer want to be a part of an organization which treats innocent people like garbage.

I just don't think it's worth it.  Imagine being a special agent for 2 or 3 years, then having to take a poly again and being accused of espionage?  It's just not worth the stress and emotional trauma.  Once is enough for me.

It's funny how the polygrapher asked me if I looked into any websites about the polygraph, and I answered truthfully - no.  Well, he then went on to say that it's because "those people are very bitter cause of course, they failed".  I felt like asking him, "Why are they so bitter?  People are not bitter for no reason".  Of course, I didn't want to get into that discussion - I wanted to finish the poly as soon as possible.
