Many publicly available sources reveal the true purpose of the polygraph in the federal security clearance process. I have included links from different search engines that return results from declassified government polygraph policies and procedure documents and helpful posts from Clearance Jobs that provide insight into why the polygraph is used. This will help you to prepare for reconsidering taking the polygraph entirely.
