- Share via
Nearly 500 FBI employees will be ordered to take polygraph tests next week as a result of the arrest of alleged spy Robert Philip Hanssen, the Washington Post reported.
FBI Director Louis J. Freeh also ordered reviews of all sensitive investigations to determine whether agents have accessed information outside their normal duties.
Among those to be tested are 150 top managers at FBI headquarters in Washington and special agents in charge of their departments.
Refusing to take the test could mean a job transfer, loss of security clearance or disciplinary action.
