silent fury,

You may not be pissed now, but just wait until you get your "not within acceptable parameters" letter and realize how you were duped into submitting to a ridiculous application process that includes a so-called testing procedure about as accurate as a flip of a coin--one that you and other taxpayers are footing the bill for. Not only that, but that the FBI used it solely to disqualify you from the position for which you applied and allowed its polygrapher to play mind games with you and treat you like a disposable commodity. It doesn't stop there, you'll also find out that your name is now on a list along with all the other polygraph failures--not a gold star. This could affect your future employment. Pissed yet? If not, you will be after you get over the shock of what's happened to you.


P.S. Yes, to answer your question, that is all she wrote--but it doesn't have to be. You can appeal the decision. If granted a re-test the agency will put you through the charade of a second test which will be a pre-determined failure.
