	I have to take the poly for a NSA clearance. Does the TS ajudication comes BEFORE the poly?. Can you keep a regular TS if you fail and/or refuse a poly? Thanks

	The NSA will adjudicate your application for a clearance after the polygraph, not before. Regarding the consequences of refusal to submit to a polygraph interrogation, NSA's polygraph regulation (NSA/CSS Regulation 122-03) states: Quote: ...refusal to consent to a polygraph examination, when it has been established as a requirement for selection or assignment to NSA, or as a condition of initial or continued access to classified cryptologic information may result in an adverse action, non-selection for assignment or employment, denial or revocation of access to classified cryptologic information, or termination of employment. Refusal to take a polygraph examination shall be recorded only in the individual's security file maintained by the NSA Office of Security. An individual's employer, shall not be informed of the refusal to take a polygraph, nor shall the personnel files be annotated, unless such refusal requires administrative action. I'm not sure what effect failing or refusing an NSA polygraph might have on any security clearance granted by any other government agency. For related reading, see "Use of the Polygraph in Security Clearance Investigations" (Chapter 8 of Security Clearances and National Security Information: Law and Procedures by Sheldon I. Cohen, December 2000).

	If you do not have a TS, and do not get through the poly, then NSA will not direct the DSS to start the TS background investigation. If you already have a TS, and do not get through the poly, I know that DSS does not look at the poly results, but looks at any derogatory volunteered information. The TS is granted by DSS and the SCI by NSA. If you have a TS, and get through the poly, but do not get through NSA adjudication, I don't believe that it would affect the TS, unless there are major issues that the DSS does not know about. If you do not get through the NSA process, then trying to get a DoD clearance may be more difficult. You just have to weigh, for yourself, if getting the NSA SCI is worth risking getting a DoD/DSS clearance. Fun, hugh ?

	What I am seeing is that even passing both polygraphs and still am told no after adjuration and told no after my appeal that I still can keep my TS that is held by DISCO? Is meeting at an appeals board with the risk? IAMNOTACROOK

	I am currenlty in the process of my BI being done for a position with NSA. I was told I would be required to take a poly after the BI is complete,(just started) told it would take 4-5 weeks and then I will be asked to come in for Poly. reading from the post above, does it mean I will not knwo if i have a TS untill i pass the polygraph? or do i get a TS and then wait for SCI?
