I presume my clearance expired in 1970....and now you're talking to us...
I can’t wait to see how this plays out. Good luck, OP.
I guess the world has moved on a bit since then, but two words... Hotel California...
In my prior employment (Military/Government), I was required to take a significant entry/application polygraph examination, undergo a 1.5 year background investigation and then undergo extensive interviews and polygraph testing every 5 years while serving in my position. My initial employment polygraph test was 4 1/2 hours long due to the nature of work I had previously done and the position for which I was applying. Eventually I carried a TS/SCI clearance with seven additional addendum clearances.
Bottom line...you're not going to beat or even remotely confuse a well trained polygrapher and/or the current computer based polygraph systems. It's their job. It's what they do and they are highly trained and highly skilled. A polygraph examination isn't just a series of "yes" or "no" questions. It is absolutely nothing like "the movies". It is a detailed and exacting procedure designed to identify behavior and physical responses that are all but impossible to conceal or alter. It goes far beyond galvanic skin response, pulse, respiration, etc.
As previously discussed, should you make the choice to try and lie, deceive, disrupt, alter or in any way be less than truthful with your responses during a real polygraph examination...you'll only be an amusing story around the office after "the event".
Just my $.02 as always.

Sounds familiar!
I'm not sure how long our background investigations went on, but I do recall sharing stories amongst ourselves, long after the poly & the shrinks talked to us, that people in our past were being contacted.
Interesting. Do you have any other sundry criteria under which anyone "deserves to be lied to"?
I've lived in that hotel my entire life. (Except when I'm at Groom.)

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
He has LOTS of interesting opinions, you know that.
Meh, it wasn’t a competition. Just thought, since you seemed to want to throw down the gauntlet, you might want to acknowledge when it got picked up. Again.
In going to tell the truth.
The lack of people whose first response was something other than "tell the truth" is a bit disturbing...
I know most of you are kidding around, but damn. Lying is wrong. We crucify anyone who misses a detail on a CL ad, but we'd encourage this guy to lie?

Lying is wrong.
Cheating is wrong.
Killing is wrong.
Bigotry, abuse and alcoholism are wrong too.
Do I need internet strangers to explain these things to me, or am I slightly older than three?
I swear, the Talkbass Boy Scout Squad takes these things VERY seriously.
Yes.

I think you're on my side, but alcoholism is not wrong, it's a disease and I don't wish it on you cuz it's terrible.
