If Congress won't take polygraphs, why should anyone else?

PROAc,

Congressional staffers are not compelled to submit to polygraph "testing" as a condition for a top secret clearance.

Note that apart from the Foreign Service/State Department, other agencies do grant top secret clearance without a polygraph seance, for example, the Department of Defense (though it may require a polygraph depending on the kind of information to which the individual will have access).
