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.

I just passed my polygraph last monday 06/09/14. I thought it was pretty easy. Yes at first i was a little nervous because i didnt know what to expect. After a few question i got my confidence and was more relax. To pass a polygraph just be honest and relax when your answering the questions. Do not worry about what the examiner says that you are not passing. Just say the truth and try the best to be relaxed. Good luck to you all. I am just waiting for my PFT2 and drug test which should be 30-60 days before EOD.

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.

Wandersmann...were you asked to fill out a written statement and sign it?  Perhaps the polygrapher, under pressure to fail 60% of the applicants, exaggerated your minor confession (trying to relax) into a significant admission.  You must not sign if you do not agree.  You are under no obligation to appease the polygrapher.

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.

To a large extent, I agree. That is precisely why a key plank in my platform for president-elect of the American Polygraph Association is a bill of rights for potential examinees that would duly inform them of the risks, realities and limitations of the "test" well in advance of their scheduled date with the liebox and its operator.

It's very simple 
The group that PAYS for the polygraph 
gets the results that they want 
especially if the result that the payer wants 
is a FAILED examination 
It's that simple 
These exams are purely subjective !!!
The " science " is in the lie pushed by the exam giver !!!

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?

You got educated and stayed good for the system, cool guy. But you lack the common sense to figure out that every single one of you has taken some type of drug in your life, because the biggest drug pusher on the planet is the Pharmaceutical Cartel... and they start you out real young injecting that needle full of vaccines.

How articulate you are.  Judging by your command of the English language, you have no business being in a profession that requires intelligence.  Go back to school and get an education.


You seem to have done all right for yourself, Quickfix, and yet you don't appear to be capable of accomplishing very much except to threaten and disparage those who have the temerity to question the accuracy of your brilliant analyses. Tongue

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  Grin
