Senator - Do I Have a Chance at A CIA Job with My Background?

"Similarly, background investigators will ask questions regarding current and past drug use, and failure to be candid with your investigator and security officials could similarly impact your security clearance eligibility. ..." in the information on getting Clearance to work at the CIA.





My prepared  response.  

"I ONLY did drugs that supported the Contras"

... Is that too candid?


OK  I know my personal integrity is "platinum"  I love America.  
That is why I'm fighting to expose the TRUTH about Lockerbie.
America can be so much better in the eyes of the world. That will happen with
"a little more transparency".... guess I won't qualify for a Clandestine job?

Personal Integrity and Conduct

Many applicants wonder if they can pass the scrutiny of a comprehensive background investigation. The IC recognizes that no one is perfect. IC security officials consider the nature, extent, seriousness, and recency of past behavior and the likelihood of its continuation or reoccurrence. These security officials weigh the potential risk and benefit of each individual - the whole person - with utmost care. This examination of the whole person involves the careful weighing of all available information—favorable and unfavorable, both past and present, including mitigating factors—to assist in making a security clearance access determination. Although national security is always the paramount consideration, our security experts work hard to ensure that the IC does not unnecessarily turn away someone who could make important contributions to the nation’s intelligence effort.

Polygraph Examination

The IC may use a polygraph to check the veracity of information that bears upon the areas listed above. The IC’s polygraph examiners are highly trained security professionals, and are among the world's best in their field. They work closely and carefully with applicants to ensure that the information upon which clearance decisions are based is as accurate as it can be and is guarded with the strictest confidence.

I can pass a polygraph... EASILY!!!
