Recently denied TS/SCI with NSA as a civilian.  I was informed that due to the Privacy Act I signed at the beginning of the Polygraph, no information disclosed or discussed would be shared or revealed with other parties.  I am an active Reservist in the Navy, my Secret clearance I once held with DoD is now gone, with the investigation date being the same as my civilian investigation date for employment with the NSA.  Is this a violation of the Privacy Act?

Talk to attorney Mark Zaid.  He is in DC, and would probably have an answer for you.

Are you an agency civilian.  Note that they can't take employment action against you based soley on the polygraph charts.  What you say during the polygraph CAN be used.  The NSA polygraphers know this, and it explains why they will press and press you to say something (in between chart readings, or during the post test) they can blow out of proportion and twist into a disqualifying admission.  

I am a retired navy linguist.  I had an FBI espionage investigation started on me based soley on what was said during my preemployment poly at the NSA.  All because I had translated some stuff for the Taiwan Coordination Council in Honolulu.  All duly reported to my command SSO.

So they CAN pass on info from the polygraph is they think in their disorted misguided minds that a crime might have been committed,

Lesson:  Don't get led into saying shit during a polygraph, except that you've answered the questions truthfully with no deception, and that NOTHING is bothering you about your answer.  Let them shout, cajole, turn red in the face, call you a dirty liar, drool at the mouth, let out a big sigh and leave the room multiple times, but DO NOT give in.

Did you go to S.E.R.E. school?  The counter interrogation techniques you may have learned there apply to polygraphs.

Good Luck, TC
