Title: Re: As promised - my NSA polygraph experiences

You have to understand going in that it's basically an interrogation and the poly is only part of that process. It's the interviewer's job to push, poke, and prod you and that may involve the good old bad cop/good cop routine and other basic techniques. It sounds like you were a bit unprepared in that regard. Some agencies ask that you not start researching the polygraph technology before going in etc but everything I just described is basic common sense, in my opinion.

Also, I agree with some of the other comments, very poor OPSEC shown in this post, both in revealing a bit too much about the agency you polyed at and details that could link you  i.e.  I ARRIVED AT FANX1 THURSDAY MORNING AT 7 AM,  revealing you did your PBT first then your poly, I FLEW IN WEDS NIGHT etc etc. and also revealing you were born in 1986 when discussing control questions and so on. You give enough information where someone could probably narrow it down  to a list of 5 to 8 candidates if not fewer based on what you've posted here alone and from there a committed intelligence and investigative agency could probably easily identify you.  

Your naiveté and carelessness is astounding and based simply on what I've seen here I hope you don't get the job because you don't seem responsible enough to handle sensitive information.
