Up coming Polygraph test

Those of you who have read my other posts know that I was an FBI false positive last year.

I have been scheduled for another polygraph test which a state law enforcement agency.  I plan on telling my background investigator about my failed FBI polygraph, because I believe it is something they will dig up themselves anyway.   

My concern however, is that I may be treated differently once the new polygrapher finds out that I once failed an FBI polygraph test.  Has anyone had any similar experiences?   

Should I use the complete honesty approach and tell them that after I failed my first poly I researched polygraphy and now know how it works?  I am probably going to use this approach, but again I am concerned that the polygrapher may fail me purposely one he/she hears this.

Thanks

I think that my false positive with the FBI influenced the outcome of my later polygraph with the LAPD, where I had volunteered to serve as an unpaid "technical" reservist providing language support to the Anti-Terrorist Division. Details are provided in my personal statement on this website.

Mentioning that you have researched polygraphy, combined with your false positive result with the FBI, may very well lead your polygrapher to purposely "fail" you and/or accuse you of countermeasure use.

If you are contemplating joining the federal polygraph lawsuits, this could actually help to prove career damage brought about as a consequence of the FBI's wrongful reliance on a technique that it knows is unreliable. If you haven't already done so, you might want to contact Mark Zaid in this regard.
