It appears that the city of Waco does indeed use the good ol' CQT screening polygraph (right hand side of page under "Applicant Processing Procedure"):

Mr. Mystery - Explain to me how polygraph missed this guy.  

A couple of points to consider before you answer that:  1. Are you sure that he was polygraphed (hired 20 years ago)?
2. Do have any facts to indicate that he was involved in child pornography prior to 1986?

Ray,

1.  By all accounts Waco has been polygraph happy for a long time.  They even polygraph their firefighters.

2.  I suppose it is possible that he just woke up one morning and decided to become a pedophile.  I guess we'll never know.
