One of the intelligent and bright
students of a well known university was offered a job as a counter-terrorism
analyst by Central Intelligence Agency. This 19-year old girl was asked to pass
polygraph test to ensure whether she can be trusted or not. This polygraph test
not only scrutinized her capability to secure government secrets but also
reveled facts about her rape and then miscarriage. This test continued for 8
hours in 3 different sessions to know her hidden thoughts.
The lady said, “All of a sudden one of
the polygraphers said, turn on the light so that I can see. I was astonished to
see how scary and unpredictable the whole process was. Last year, almost
seventy three thousand American have undergone this polygraph test to get on to
the federal government jobs. Although, this test is absolutely banned in
private sector but some of the government sectors dealing with countries secret
information’s are allowed to perform this test. Some of the people believe that
this screening is very harsh but the fact is that its not so harsh but
polygraphers try to investigate the personal live as well as hidden facts about
the applicants, so as to ensure complete safety and security from terrorist and spies.
Federal government consider polygraph
test as an imperfect as well one of the effective ways to secure countries
secretes from being leaked. Just like people are using the common mobile accessories such as,
Bluetooth headsets, speakers for iPhone, Keyboards etc, similarly there are many departments who are
making the use of LVA technology for investigation purposes.
