I wanted to start a thread where we can all post actual examples, of law enforcement, intelligence community, and other U.S. government employees who had to pass polygraphs for their jobs, meanwhile concealing crimes.
I will start this list. Some of these people had Top Secret/ SCI clearances and passed their pre-employment or routine 5-year security clearance review polygraphs while hiding criminal activity. These are U.S. government employees, federal agents, and other "trusted" U.S. citizens who beat the machine. If they can beat it, anyone can.
