Action Alerts and Announcements / Re: Twenty-five Years Online
Last post by long time lurker - Dec 11, 2025, 07:16 AM
Is this forum even active anymore?  In recent years, sites like discuss.clearancejobsblog.com and Reddit are where people go for polygraph advice.  Even though Reddit subs are heavily censored, plenty of polygraph discussion happen in private messages or offline.  There was a time when federal agencies would warn people about this site but now I don't think they care.  The Google ranking is down as well and this site won't even show up in search results unless you put in precise keywords.

George, do you have any thoughts about the decline in use of this site, or if you plan to try to get more users to post like back in the post-911 days?  Maybe it is time to say R.I.P. to this outdated forum.

This is another example of the bogus pipeline effect.  Last thing we need is anymore dumb, corrupt cops.

And I doubt David ever will.  Poly and VSA people are all the same, talk the talk, but can't walk the walk.

Federal Law Enforcement Applications, Hiring, and Employment / TOM HOMAN DENIED AS SPEAKER - ...
Last post by Leonard Wood - Oct 28, 2025, 12:02 PM
For those of you Customs & Border Protection - Border Patrol Polygraph Examiners. 

Tom Homan, the Border Czar for the Trump administration was uninvited as a speaker at the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Conference last week. 

The reason might very well be the following:

Polygraph Procedure / What happened to my clearance?
Last post by julie34098 - Oct 28, 2025, 10:41 AM
Here is my situation:  Last year I got a conditional offer from an IC contractor.  I went through the whole TS/SCI process, had references contacted, credit pulled, and got harshly interrogated on the CI polygraph since I've traveled abroad quite a bit.  Then, the job was canceled.  My clearance never made it out of adjudication and it was subsequently canceled as well.  I found out that DISS and Scattered Castles show a "canceled / loss of jurisdiction" status for my TS/SCI, but no mention of the poly.  I don't know if I passed or failed the poly but either way I guess I have no clearance.  :(

Could a new job hire me and "finish" my clearance process or would I have to start all over and go through a new background check and poly again?  It seems like such a waste to just throw my previous BI file in the trash.

Quote from: RobbieG on Oct 24, 2025, 04:07 PMGeorge, you asked David during the interview if he had any evidence to support his assertion that the reliability of digital polygraphs were much improved over analogue equipment. He said he didn't have it handy but would send it to you later. Did he end up doing so?

No, he did not.

QuoteBe honest with you answers and you will get hired.  Nobody is perfect, and they are not looking for people that are perfect.  They want people with integrity and the ability to learn from past mistakes.  If you are responsible and respectful, then you are honest and forthright. If I was an employer, I would rather know I have hired someone less then perfect that is honest, then someone who comes across as too perfect and is deceitful.
I wish that was true. I took a polygraph almost 20 years ago. My friend and I were applying for the same agency. I told them everything, my friend did not. He passed and I did not.

Interesting article you wrote.  For the record, I do not doubt that polys are also pseudoscience, but let's discuss the CVSA shortcomings, especially how a plaintiff's lawyer would rip NITV to pieces.  First, as you mentioned, the one-week training is woefully inadequate.  A manicurist cannot even be trained in that length of time.  If I were a plaintiff's attorney, I would rip the short training, the bogus Ukraine journal article that did not mention NITV one time, the admission of "Dr." Humble that there has been no independent research of the CVSA, and for the cherry on top, the fake Ph.D from the fake scam university
