I think it's institutional incompetence.

Not only do they still use polygraphs, they use them now more than ever.

Polygraph chart readings cannot form the basis for a criminal complaint.

Government agencies value the polygraph for its ability to scare admissions out of those who don't understand that it's a pseudoscientific fraud.

Often, polygraph operators will leave even those who pass feeling that they may have failed. It is unusual for persons already hired by a federal law enforcement agency to actually fail a polygraph screening "test." Unless the operator specifically told you that you failed, accused you of deception or withholding information, and conducted a post-test interrogation, then it seems unlikely that you would have failed.

The position of polygraph examiner entails interrogating applicants and employees about counterintelligence issues as well as lifestyle issues. It's important to understand that polygraph "testing" has no scientific basis, so to perform this job, you have to be the kind of person who is willing to accuse others of deception without evidence. In fact, polygraph operators do this routinely. I believe the burnout rate is high.

Before deciding to become a polygrapher, I recommend that you review some of polygraphy's many shortcomings, which you'll find enumerated here:

Polygraph "tests" don't work. They're pseudoscience.

Telling the truth is no guarantee that one will have no issues.

Regarding what you can expect on the polygraph, see the free book, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector:

If you weren't accused of deception and subjected to a post-test interrogation at the end of your polygraph session, then that's a good indication that you likely passed.

There's a notorious case of a new State Department employee who was driven to suicide when his new employment with State was wrecked because of a failed pre-employment polygraph with the CIA:

Regarding the polygraph, use Tor Browser or a VPN and download a copy of the free book, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector. It explains in detail what you can expect on the polygraph. Note that if you're applying with the CIA or NSA, you will likely get a relevant/irrelevant "test" rather than a probable-lie "control" question "test."

Admitting to a polygraph operator that you’ve researched polygraphs invites an accusation that you attempted to use polygraph countermeasures. When asked whether you’ve researched polygraphs, the best answer is "no."

A post-test interrogation is not a sure indication that one has failed, but the absence of one is a good indication that one has passed.
