Re: Failed poly, wish i saw this site sooner

Sorry to hear your story.  Which agency did you take the polygraph for and for what job position?  Can you tell us the location you took your polygraph exam and the questions asked?  How/When did they tell you that you "failed"?

We try to give as much details as possible on this site.  It sounds like all polygraphers are running the same routine on candidates.  Accusing us all of withholding information and then coercing a false confession out of us.  Then we all go home sad and come to this site as some sort of group therapy to share our feelings.  Down with polygraph@

bulldog62,

Should you choose to address downwithpolygraph's questions:

it would be prudent to avoid including enough specific detail that you could be identified.

Exactly. You never know who's watching and listening.

Just like in Nazi Germany.

Just like in Nazi Germany.

The level of surveillance in the United States today is much greater than in Nazi Germany (or the DDR, for that matter). The Internet and other electronic communications has made mass surveillance cheap and enabled kinds of surveillance that weren't available in the past.

With respect to AntiPolygraph.org, readers should be aware that polygraphers in various federal agencies routinely read this forum and may attempt to identify individuals who post here.

In addition, there is reason to believe that visitors to this site may be targeted for surveillance by the NSA via systems such as XKEYSCORE.

Someone needs to check the National Archives to make certain that the original Constitution is still there.  If the above statement is true it sounds like the NSA must have taken it and is using it for toilet paper.  I recently heard that a failed polygraph constitutes probable cause in the Massachusetts court system.  If that is true the trend might eventually come to the USA.

Very true, especially given our friend here,  who is likely with the "Office of Security" thugs in Langley!
