shamster,

I wouldn't worry about the FBI getting off their ass to verify any negative information gleaned during their application process.  Unless the drug activity you talked about was a major cocaine refinery, I'd say you were in the clear.

Of course, this is only my opinion.  I was accused of criminal espionage during my polygraph, and have not seen hide nor hair of the Bureau since.  I have even discussed this with the Bureau, and was told that they would not pursue these allegations.

I should have a chance to appeal these allegations in the near future, and also request a second polygraph.  The Bureau was too busy dealing with Level Orange to work with me, but now that they are yellow again (how fitting), maybe they will own up to their promise of my appeal.

You may also have an opportunity to appeal.   This site provides a wealth of information about the appeal process.  My only piece of advice right now for you is to remain anonymous.  Post as few details as possible so the FBI caanot uncover your identity.  I posted and continue to post with my real name (as I have nothing to hide); however, I have received verbal grief from the Bureau because of it.  Save yourself the heartache by keeping your anonymity.
