I suspect you are correct. In the aftermath of NSA contractor Edward Snowden's 2013 leak, the NSA tripled the number of polygraph "tests" it conducts annually:

It should be noted that the polygraph failed to catch NSA contractor Hal Martin, who last year was arrested for illegally retaining classified information since the late 1990s:

I have to admit, I love it when information goes public like this.  Because it shows, just like in the Texas polygraph industry, that the government doesn't care about themselves, or people in the "good ole boys club" doing something wrong or unethical; their only response is to punish the whistle blower.   

Let's forget about or not address the actions that lead to the release of information, address the people who thinks the people most affected by the unethical actions, should be warned.   

And polygraph is only a great tool in the polygraph industry, so long as it's not the examiner in the chair.  I think I have proven this beyond any reasonable doubt.  The industry, especially here in Texas, only believes polygraph should be applied to other people, and not to ourselves.   

Still having a hard time figuring out if it is because some examiners don;t believe it works, and don't want to risk it, or if they do know it works, and fears exposure.   

Personally, I would look at any examiner who wouldn't sit for their own test, or feels that polygraph should not be applied, within the industry, and refuse to take the test.   

Charlatans, and snake oil salesmen should not be trusted.  Wow, that fits the bill for a lot of examiners in Texas.  The Executive Board Members of TAPE, and other high ranking TAPE members,  being at the top of the list.  TAPE's position, judging from the Associations actions, feels that examiners should never be hold to our own test.  Having said that Jon Rios still confuses me, because I have him on recording saying he believes that examiners who are afraid to take our own test have something to hide, but actions since 2014 make me wonder if he was just feeding me a line of bull.   

Still waiting for that lawsuit, Kitten.  Guess it's hard to file a libel or slander action, when it's the truth huh?  Anyway Kitten, just call me and tell me when you're filing so I can receive process, file my general denial, and counterclaim on the same day.  This way we can get going on discovery.  Hope the examiners know what "spoliation of evidence" means.  Oh never mind, TAPE doesn't know what I have, I'll just see if they will disclose everything willingly.  That will be fun huh?


Sorry all I was threatened with a lawsuit back in 2014, in an effort to silence me.  I am still waiting for them to be stupid enough to give me my day in court.  I figure if they are going to sue me for the truth, I'll keep telling the truth, and maybe someday they will either get brave or stupid.   

Maybe I'll release some recordings of one of the TAPE meetings since 2014, that I have recently got my hands on.  That has all kinds of interesting conversations on it, especially about yours truly, and what should be "done with me."

Thank god for people with nothing to lose.  Amazing the information they are willing to give.   


Anyway, back on point.  Many examiners believe, (this is based of my experience of the past 8 years), polygraph is all well good and fine, so long as it's not for the examiners.  Trust no examiner who wouldn't sit in the chair him/herself, if their integrity came to question.

Good luck on that search

In short, maybe the CIA, and other Federal Agencies, should respect the privacy of the average citizen, and stop with the Orwellian bullshit

It seems likely that polygraph "testing" is on the rise in connection with the CIA "Vault 7 " leak:

Certainly none for most of the other so-called "three-letter agencies" !   

It just came to me...  The instructions/regulations are probably classified.

John M -  Good for you !  I've never heard anybody say it better.  They are the most corrupt and evil government institution that has ever existed.  They are as twisted and evil as the worst of the Nazi's and Bolsheviks.  The truth is that they are traitors, nothing more.  By they I mean the Federal polygraphers, the security divisions of the three-letter agencies and career seeking heads of the three letter agencies who allow this atrocity to continue on a daily basis.   It will eventually be revealed and understood just as easy as we now know that the Salem witch burners were twisted and evil.
