I realize the polygraph is not going away anytime soon.  Perhaps an acceptable solution (to both sides) is to relocate all federal polygraphers into a single organization, independent of FBI, CIA etc., under which they would receive their performance appraisals and salary reviews.  Maybe you as a fed can initiate change.  Someone has to take the first step.

Likewise, the CIA, NRO, NSA, etc. aren't going away anytime soon either.
As long as we continue in the delusional mentality that such agencies are "necessary" to "protect" us,
the polygraph will remain.

The Intelligence Community and the polygraph are but two nefarious components of a culture of secrecy and unaccountability. >:(
