Polygraphs are utterly worthless.  I tried to get on with the FBI last summer as an investigative specialist.   

I had three polys with them, all three were called inconclusive.  I got the same rude, crude and socially unaccpetable treatment as you and others noted here.

I am very glad, (it's a God thing in my opinion), that I did not get the job.  Over the past few years, I think that all of us have seen the incompetence and corruption that is all throughout the feds.

I know why I had an inconclusive test.  I was the wrong age, wrong gender, wrong color.  I did not fit the little profile they wanted that particular day.

It's their loss, not mine.

I know you asked Kane but, I'm gonna add my 2 cents anyway.

Don't you read newapapers and watch TV? Or, when an article appears about a bad cop, do you play ostrich?

J. Edgar Hoover was a homo pervert who kept dossiers on all powerful politicians including presidents. This is how he got every damn thing he asked for from congress. He held the bad deeds they had done over their heads. I read this in a number of publications. This info was not published until after his death. The news media was afraid of him too. He and Lynden Johnson were buddies. Each had dirt on the other. Also, after his death, articles began to appear about the corruption of that organization. The CIA has had their share of bad press also. If these two agencies had shared their intellingence information there, in all likelyhood, would not have been the 9-11 horrow. All of the above stuff, and a lot more has been plastered all over the news media. It is not just my "anti police" attitude (as you put it). Where have you been man?

We have never gotten our money's worth from D. C. because of the corruption there. Look at the conspiratorial corruption between D. C. and the oil industry for which you, I and the rest of this country are paying dearly.

Twoblock and Kane:

You guys are really grasping at straws to prove your "rampant corruption"  allegation. If you had your way you probably would put drunk "Chappaquidick " Ted Kenedy in charge of the CIA and Janet "Wacko'' Reno in charge of the FBI.  Two fine liberals, who by the way are also against the polygraph. Thank god that  the CIA and the FBI work for us.

You asked to be enlightened however, you don't have the ability to be enlightened. Instead of trying to disprove what Kane and I wrote, you make a poor attempt at twisting things around. You need to go back to the Democrat's school of twisting. They are masters at it.

I see no need, as I'm sure is the case of the rest who visit this site, to respond your posts any more because you have proven that you can't debate the issues. So go ahead and have the last twist.

Sergeant:

If you are a real cop then you surely must have heard of the adage; "You lie wth dogs and you get fleas."  Get my drift?  You and I  know that the majority of people that come to this site for one reason. I hope you can sleep well at night.

Where I work there is a clear ethical standard:

Do what is best for the country, unless it conflicts with your own best interests, the financial interests of whatever company you work for, or will lessen your division's political power.  Then talk about the importance of the mission, and how dedicated you personally are to it even though everyone else is messing up and just looking out for their own interests.  

Retcopper,

I see that you are still clueless.

I shudder in horror for the le agency that you work for or used to work for.

And the PTB in certain circles wonder why so many folks view le with a jaundiced eye.
