	Hi, 3 years ago I applied to an FBI internship. I was accepted into the internship but was told I would have to take a polygraph. I took the polygraph 2 times, both were ruled inconclusive. I also had the same examiner for both polygraphs. I now work for a defense contractor and have a top secret clearance with the government. Could I apply to become an FBI special agent in the next few years or would the polygraph be held against me? Would the TS clearance help in my application process? Thanks

	Caleb, To the best of my knowledge, your two inconclusive results with the FBI should not be a bar to future FBI employment. However, as I first stated back in 2003, I think that FBI pre-employment polygraph screening is a risk not worth taking. The fact that you presently hold a TS clearance will not vaccinate you against the risk of a false positive (and note that the FBI pre-employment polygraph failure rate is on the order of 50%). Failing an FBI polygraph will not only preclude you from FBI employment for life: it may also adversely affect your ability to continue holding a security clearance with other agencies.

	Top Secret clearance holds no weight in a Lie Detector test for the FBI.
