Well I agree but also if someone makes stuff up that is incriminating while on “friendly examination” they shouldn’t get the clearance because they will absolutely incriminate themselves and everyone they met in their lives when on “unfriendly examination”.

If you mean when their tortured I thought the consensus was that everyone talked under sufficient torture and the actual problem was determine fiction from reality.
And this is exactly the problem, people make stuff up all of the time under stress.

This is not the value. The value is that the polygraph is that its an end-run around employment law. You can't use a polygraph on a general employee to fire them nor can you fire them for many of things that they ask in a polygraph interview. However you can revoke their clearance and fire them for not having a clearance.
