Yes, no one is entitled to a government job or a security clearance, but the applicant has the right to be rationally evaluated for the position.

That's correct;  and the ones who pass their polygraphs are the ones rationally evaluated as "best qualified"

Gary Ridgway, the Green River killer, and perhaps the greatest serial killer in American history passed a criminal specific issue polygraph exam in the midst of his continuing to kill--a killing spree reported to involve at least 49 murder victims.

Ridgway is a psychopath,  and as competent examiners know, a psychopath should never be administered a polygraph.  They are not candidates for valid results.
