My understanding, is that the NSA would put your name
in the Intel-wide database, that you failed the polys.
I've gone through the NSA nonsense many times, and
I bet the FBI is no better.  I am sure they will ask you
if you have taken any polys, but they might already
know from the database.  I would probably look for
a TS/SCI position, that does not require a poly.

Hello,

After failing 3 polys with NSA a few years ago, I decided not to go back for a 4th retest.  I am scheduled for an FBI poly soon, and don't know if I should disclose my past experience at NSA.  A few years have passed and I currently hold a TS with DoD.  Does anyone know if the NSA experience will adversely impact my FBI poly?  I don't want to go through it if it will blacklist me from all future federal employment.  Any thoughts will be appreciated.
