and mine in 1979, except that they were still doing the polygraphs at Headquarters back then.

If it is, then this forum is certainly serving its intended purpose.  If the nice folks at OP and OS don't like that, well I think that's just great!
The more embarrassment that can be caused to the Agency the better!

Yes, thanks to the Agency's "Office of Security"

A search for "CIA Polygraph" in alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo also hits this thread.

Bumping this old thread to get things going again.  With the leaks of Wikileaks, Snowden, Manning, and others, I think it is time to start exposing more government secrets.  I'm putting the CIA on blast.  Attached are the files from someone's pre-employment processing from some years ago.  I have included a nice little map of CIA Headquarters, and one of the files is a map to the CIA Dulles Discovery Building in Chantilly, VA where the processing takes place.  Notice that none of the documents actually say "CIA", they do this on purpose.  In fact, the recruitment mail you receive will only have "Recruitment Center, Washington DC" as the return address, which is strange since the CIA buildings are mostly in Northern VA.   

Some other information: If you want to "spot the spook" at a U.S. Embassy, by that I mean know who the undercover CIA officer is, here are some ways to tell:

- The NSA usually has the cover of an Information Management Specialist in the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service.
- The CIA usually has the cover of a Political, Economics, or Management Officer in the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service.
- The CIA, if they have a large presence, will all be grouped under some vague group in the U.S. Department of State Global Address Book.  For example, the group may be something like "Executive Staff" or "Regional Affairs", which are not standard groups if you look at the list of Foreign Service jobs on the careers.state.gov website.
- Both the CIA and NSA are usually located on the top floor of the Controlled Access Area (CAA) where only U.S. employees with security clearances area allowed, though in some "friendly" countries the local staff are allowed access to the CAA under escort.
- In non-friendly countries like Russia, Iran, and China, the CIA are not allowed to make friends with the locals.  So the undercover CIA officer will not be socializing with the local citizens in these countries.
- The annual performance review, known as the EER, in the U.S. Department of State is required for all employees.  The undercover CIA officer will either not fill one out, or fill out one that looks like crap because he/she doesn't care and The Agency has its own performance review system that is more important.

Diana K,

Have you seen the 9-minute polygraph video referenced in the materials you posted? If so, I'd be interested in any details you might be able to provide about it.
