Listen, your husband very well may be a bit paranoid about this whole process, not that it doesn't make us all a bit neurotic. Nonetheless, it shouldn't matter. After all, an investigator will eventually speak to family, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. In the polygraph, you will most likely have to pour your guts in order to prove that you are telling the truth (for your own sake, because any feeling of guilt for even something insignificant will show up on your readings).
As a case officer, you will have to constantly be on the watch for tails. So even if you were being tailed, what difference does it make? One way or another, the security people will find out everything they want to know about your personal and professional life, so unless you have something to hide, who the hell cares if some dudes followed you to the movies? Unless you think your husband and you are actually being stalked, don??t worry about it. Please tell me you discussed this career choice thoroughly with your husband before you applied, because from what you posted, he seems to be a bit antsy, and that could put a strain on your relationship unless he can keep a level head and not tell anyone who you work for.

My husband is the only person I have told about my potential employer and he is very trustworthy as far as secrets. He does have a distrust of the CIA; however, as a member of the business community, he feels as if the CIA only works in the interest of American economic stability & longevity, by any means necessary, which he believes is a positive thing. My husband is not a learnered individual, and he has a select skill set that is finacially rewarding. One thing I had not thought about was some training I have had for a certain field of work I was in, where we discussed the authenticity of polygraph results and how one could easily, or calmly rather, give a truthful result, when in deed the individual is lying. I cannot go any further than that, but maybe the agency is looking into this "training", which was for good purposes. And of course I listed it in my original packet.
I just do not believe the agency would do such a thing because of cost factors and leagality issues.
Thanks for the responses.
