I don't think an employment polygrapher has a constitutional right to brutally interrogate a prospective employee to the point where it creates mental and emotional trauma. These people seem to wallow in the power they THINK they have. As a kid, they must have had their lunch money taken from them by a bully and now it's their turn to be the bully. I would have him/her in federal court pronto.

I can't advise otherwise except who would want to work for an organization that's useless as tits on a boer hog.

No, Persil, that's not it.

Do you have some reasoning behind your suggestions?  Please share.  Thank you.

No kidding.  My husband, who is the most prudish, innocent kind of man was apparently accused of all manner of sexual perversion, or some such nonsense, and came home in tears.  They must have done something to brainwash him, because he kept muttering things about being "a bad man" and "a bad person."  And he's the sort of fellow who's absolutely embarrassed to the point of mortification if some sleazy ad pops up on the internet--definitely not a "bad man."  They're pervs there, and I hope that he either doesn't get the job, or he leaves pronto.   

They're B**stards.

Here goes the broke record again. SUE THEM. Make them try to prove their false accusations. You would probably have to do it pro se because, apparently, most lawyers are afraid to take on these people. You might be able to find one who would surreptitiously do your complaint and you could file it as pro se. It cost $150 to file a complaint in federal court. Make sure that mental abuse is one of the claims. Make sure you state the claims. The defense always tries to say "They failed state a claim".

I will now await the normal responses of "this is not an actionable cause". I believe it is. There is one way to find out. FILE THE ACTION.

On what basis do you make this accusation?

To George,

I don't know....something just does not smell right about this...it just seems so unlikely.   

To "Sadder",

The fact that you've chosen to make a groundless personal character attack when faced with a suggestion of fabrication only seems to validate my supposition.

Sadder,
I'm very sorry that your husband has to go through this.  When I took my FBI polygraph,  I was initially accused of drug usage only.  That day, I came home in tears and I threw up of how sickening the accusation was.  When I took my second polygraph, they accused me of everything else under the sun, minus what my name is and that I sell drugs.  Every time I think about how I was treated, I feel very bad, but believe me, it gets better.
   
The worse part is that us victims have to talk about what happened for emotional and mental support, but there are very few people out there who can relate and who understand the falseness of the polygraph.  Some might even suspect that you are what the examiners accused you of.  It's a terrible thing, which is why sometimes it's better for us victims to keep our experiences to ourselves.   For this reason, I believe your post.   Your husband is suffering an emotional and mental trauma of being labeled deceptive by those he had faith in.
