Doug,

You are correct. I spend at least 8 hours a day fighting Washington. So much so that my emails have been blocked. Not by just Democrats either. One of my own Senators, John Cornyn, the RNSC and the RNC blocked me.  People like Cruz and Paul have NOT blocked me.

Years ago, by hard copy letters, I tried to get someone in Congress (both houses) to introduce a bill that required members to pass a polygraph in order to inter Congress and for the incumbents to remain there. I didn't get ONE response to the letters. I can understand that because they only pay attention to large numbers. I could not get enough people writing. There's the problem. The only way I get my messages across now are through petitions and they do read some of them evidenced by recent replies even though the responses were pure political rhetoric and lies.

Ok, so what's your rap sheet consist of? Be honest now. No one here can be wearing a halo. The thing that seems to be going on with the hiring process is....if you have no experience in life what so ever and have lived life, basically under  a rock, then that makes you a potential candidate/? I would think that those who are well seasoned in life's ups and downs, having experiences with the good and bad and learning from them and being able to differentiate good ethics from bad, would be more desirable by departments. When I failed and I responded back to this "IA" investigator, I asked if they were looking for robots? I asked who is to say that anyone applicant that "supposedly" has never been tainted by mistakes, will not decide later, after being hired and well established in the job, that he or she will not decide to push the envelope to see what they can get a way with.

I told a polygraph examiner that I was trying to relax and he stated in his report that I admitted to using countermeasures.  What a joke this polygraph is.  A joke that costs innocent people their careers.

Good point !  No, I never signed, wrote, or dictated anything after the test.  I was a government contractor.  I strenuously maintained my innocence and was told if I didn't confess, I would be terminated.  I never did confess and was eventually terminated 5 months later after I accomplished my tasks.  They let me finish but then said I could never come back on another contract.  If I was a threat to security, weren't they culpable to allow me to stay ?  Their adjudication is capricious.  They can do whatever they want.  As I was walked out of the office, I continued to protest my innocence  and the polygraph examiner told me not to worry, no adverse action would be taken against me.  He said something to the effect of, "don't worry, you don't need to pass the polygraph to stay on your contract".  He lied.  I find it ironic that these "truth finders" are the biggest God damned liars that ever walked the face of the earth.

I'd like to know why the hell why the waiting period to retake the CBP test is so long.   >:(

If I failed and reapplied 3 years later what are the odds of me getting hired?  If I pass the poly would my last failed exam hurt my chances?

Well the best thing to do is tell the Agent you did drugs and he will see you are lying and he cant fail you than:)

For CBP, I really don't know.  For any federal intelligence agency, I'd say to forget about re-applying until you turn 120.  lol
