Congrats! > **[Body cavity search](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_cavity_search)** > > A body cavity search, also known simply as a cavity search, is either a visual search or a manual internal inspection of body cavities for prohibited materials (contraband), such as illegal drugs, money, jewelry, or weapons. Body cavities frequently used for concealment include the mouth, vagina, and rectum. It is far more invasive than the standard strip search that is typically performed on individuals taken into custody, either upon police arrest or incarceration at a jail, prison, or psychiat... > During manual body cavity searches, body orifices are probed using fingers or the entire hand. ---

Congrats man. I got 90% of the way through the BP process (3 checks left and I can’t fail a drug test) and somehow false positived on the lie detector. The administrator told me about how accurate those things are… Yet somehow one of the two results cleared on a retest… Now im stuck in limbo as my results sit on a desk for review whether I will recieve a re test or not. ---

> [@thunderbunnycrisis](#): > > Border patrol and CBP are completly different but both are great jobs and your foot in the door to one of the greatest brotherhoods around. I have been waiting for one green check mark on the CASS site for over 2 years now for BP, polygraph has been completed and not really sure what the hold up is. They use to not polygraph bu then started doing it in 2010 or so…congrats im sure youll love the job and the doors that it will open for you Yea, ya know it was actually for border patrol, not cbp officer now that you mention it. That’s probably why there was all the talk of the south border. On another note I did take the parks police exam and scored alright. Expecting a call come spring time for the next academy. Not 100% sure what ill do if/ when that time comes. ---

I know how you feel. After my first polygraph (took 4 hours) where the administrator grilled me pretty intensely because I had slight movement and deep breathing during certain questions, the results had to be reviewed by his supervisor. Then a month later I got called back to re-do a couple sections of the test. That part went much smoother and only about an hour. Good luck to you!! hopefully it works out for you. - - - Updated - - - > [@XwalkerX](#): > > i voluntarily spent 6 months working in Arizona two years ago and you know what? > > i fucking loved it. > > i seized more contraband in that 6 month period than i did for my entire 5 years in buffalo. > > you pretty much use your cuffs daily I bet that’s awesome haha If I was single I would have gone south, or where ever they wanted to send me to experience some wild shit. ---

The interview panel is with 3 agents Better get ready, all that i really can tell you is Make sure you have a resume that is Border patrol specific and be prepared to spend most of your day there. Use common sense when answering their questions and be detailed with your answers.
