A DoD security clearance applicant who applied for a job requiring access to sensitive compartmented information underwent two polygraph examinations that ended up sinking his eligibility for a security clearance. He subsequently appealed to the Defense Office of Hearing and Appeals. Here are the highlights of the case. During his first polygraph the applicant admitted…
I wonder if he admitted to these things before or during the polygraph. It definitely sinked his eligibility if he said all of this before the polygraph.
This is one of those things where its like was this a suitability denial or an actual clearance denial? Given the appeal I’m assuming he actually got an SOR?
Funnily enough, I had no idea what Hentai was until another user on here mentioned it and, of course, I just HAD to ask, “what’s that?”
Hearing stories like this I wonder if the polygraph examiners get training in how to keep a straight face. I wonder if they ever lose their composure and say something like, “Really? Did you really just say that? You know you’re in a POLYGRAPH EXAM don’t you???”
The key phrases here are, “the applicant admitted . . . “ Never make an admission during a poly! Everyone needs to grow balls (females too, lol) and not succumb to these interrogations. Polygraphers just fish for confessions. If this guy would have kept his mouth shut, he had a better chance of passing the poly. DO NOT CONFESS!
F–k your integrity. Get your clearance, make that money, and take your secrets to the grave.
During a pretest interview before the first polygraph, he admitted watching Hentai (anime) pornography from 2015 until the date of the polygraph, in which the characters depicted appeared to be 11 to 15 years old based on their physical features, and they were engaged in sexual acts…
He was then confronted with evidence of 40 pictures of underage nude females and one or two videos that were found on his personal cellphone…
During the pretest interview on August 12, 2020, Applicant admitted that he was prescribed a narcotic painkiller after having his tonsils removed in August 2015, and that he misused the narcotic about 10 times in August and September 2019 to get high. When the polygraph examiner asked him about future use of the narcotic, he said that he was not sure whether he would use it again if he had the opportunity, and he explained that he was not sure because it made him feel good…
During the pretest interview in August 2020, he told the polygraph examiner that his last shoplifting was in 2016 and his last alcohol consumption was in 2018. Both statements were untrue. He later admitted that his last shoplifting was in 2021, and that his last alcohol consumption was in 2020…
I have a feeling these parts were rather more of interest to the examiners/adjudicator than the mere fact he liked anime titties.
Time card fraud is one of the easiest ways to get your clearance denied/pulled
