I took a polygraph for customs and border protection a few months back and I admitted to drug use even though I lied previously on my application. I told the agent the truth and at the end he told me I failed and wasn't being honest and the only way he would consider me for a retest is if I came clean and no matter how many times I told him I told the truth he said I didn't and said he wasn't gonna play games all day so I just left... Still no word from anyone not a letter email or phone call. My opinion is the "random selection" for polygraphs is just to get the less qualified applicants out of the way.

Did they put in writing that your selection was random? If so, please post the exact language.

Another thing you might do is ask for details about how you were randomly selected, in a Privacy Act and/or FOIA request. A Privacy Act request is where you could ask how you in particular were selected, and for your records. A FOIA request would be a way to ask how the random selection in general is being performed, when, and by whom.
