Recently, I took a polygraph test by a national intelligence agency (guess which of the three). It was two days. On the first day, I passed 4 questions out of the five. The examiner (who was professional) told me I lied in the criminal category. I never use drugs, never had an alcohol problem, no financial problems, no criminal records all my life. The second day I had to explain. But where in the USCA and CFR is the penalties if you have a secret or TS clearance and broke the laws???
The reason is that I was proactive at the defense contractor where I work. It was easy to do something that was illegal. However, I failed to realized that showing a security weakness to the "security experts" will get me fired. DSS (Defense Security Service) should have something like a A Centralized Security Violation Reporting Program mentioned at http://www.usdoj.gov/05publications/websterreport.html

Spies like Ames, Pollard, and Hanssen were able to do because all security personnel are reactive. It is the clerks and support staff who are proactive but afraid to tell the "experts".  CI agents should be promoted on how proactive they are, not being reactive. They should "inflitraded" and act like a Red Cell team.
I read most of the sites on antipolygraph.org  You guys want to beat the polygraph. I don't. But I am being punished for being proactive, thus I was denied a TS clearance. I'm neither anti nor pro. Just a loyal American. I'm on the security appeal list - long
