Hi..
The FBI responded that failed polygraph tests rather than other factors, such as the length of time for getting security clearances, are the main reason.
Thank you.
The reason that 40% of FBI applicants fail their polygraph examination is because of the liberal colleges and media they are exposed to prior to looking for employment. Many of the young professionals now seeking employment with the FBI fell into the college life style of using drugs and now it has come back to bite them. Most federal law enforcement agencies have a pre-employment drug use policy and depending on that policy the qualified individuals pool will vary accordingly. The FBI has always set the bar pretty high and they expect applicants to meet their criteria. The trouble is, when a person is not given information regarding pre-employment standards as they attend school, they are then saddled with having to chart a different course as they look for those jobs that require a higher caliber of individual. There are certain federal jobs that the American public expects those employees to be held to a higher standard. The FBI is one of them.
