US border patrol is having trouble hiring agents

The Trump administration wants the agency to add 5,000 new agents, but two-thirds of applicants fail the polygraph test.

I passed all my poly exams for jobs, however there are poly investigators who will fail you even if you pass. they will state it is inconclusive through their own ego and power trip or just because they do not like you. it is sad but true.

i took the polygraph and failed even though i did exactly as the examiner instructed for the test. ive also taken a similar test that uses your own natural acoustics to determine how truthful you are (it looks at stress and pitch of your voice) and passed with flying colors. the question they asked on both were very similar.

Polygraph tests are highly inaccurate.

It's because they make it too hard. I applied and didn't get in. I failed the test. They make it too hard. It's their own fault.

[doubleshotgun]

Oh because they are not corupt right now.

It's bad enough you've done so to the Army Rangers.

Use the M.O.A.B. if you caught someone along the border!
