If this is not the correct forum, please change it to the right one.

I just finished an impromptu interview with a BI investigating a neighbor for TS clearance. Man, what an investigation! This is the way it should be done. Not by the polygraph. My confidence is restored.

After the interview, I asked, in jest, was I gonna be polygraphed for truthful answers. This brought on a belly rolling guffaw. I took our conversation to mean the BI had little confidence in the poly for pre-employment. When asked what I thought about it in a criminal setting, my reply was "it extracts confessions from some guilty people and it also extracts false confessions from some innocent people but it sure didn't take the place of good police investigations. To which there was no disagreement.

Before I leave, I hope to talk to my neighbor about their poly experience and with authorization will report back.
