The most interesting fact in your entire message, as far as this site and its agenda is concerned, is that you were never hooked up to the polygraph machine at all.

Antipolygraph.org teaches that a polygraph examination is just an excuse for an unrecorded dispositive hostile interrogation. The polygraph is worthless for detecting lies, but valuable as a prop for an interrogator who uses his training and his subject's ignorance to elicit whatever answers he wants. Never willingly submit to a polygraph examination.

I would like to thank you for demonstrating that the prop is not necessary. The Fairfax County Police Department was quite able to filter you out without resorting to voodoo junk science.

When I filled out the PHS I did not purposely omit or falsify any information except my drug history.

When I explained what happened he didn't believe me.

You omitted to mention your history of using illegal drugs in your PHS, and then subsequently admitted that you lied. You tried to excuse your tardiness by lying about about getting and reading an e-mail. What did you think was going to happen?

This type of process for employment is absolutely ridiculous, and in my belief doesn't weed out candidates based on any real or relevant metrics.

No one is questioning your ability to calm and control feral dogs. The real and relevant metric is: are you a person who can be trusted to accurately report your actions, own up to mistakes, and co-operate with investigations, or are you a person who will falsify reports to make yourself look better, lie to avoid taking responsibility, and weasel out of answering the tough questions?

The purpose of the employment interview is not to discover whether you can do the job on offer -- they can see that from your qualifications and experience -- but to discover if you are someone they want on their team. For your own sake you should try to understand why they do not.

Even dogs can't trust you after you lie.
