I'm afraid government service negates any "personal freedom", but then that's just me.
"You want "personal freedom" work for yourself.

I understand what you are saying now. If I take a job knowing that is a requirement then I would fulfill that requirement. I'm not sure polygraphs are a known requirement for all local jobs but I know they are for many federal jobs.
That's similar to why I volunteered to take a drug test after the accident - with an on the job accident there is reason to know the cause - in the same way I would answer personal questions for a policeman investigating a crime nearby that I would normally refuse to answer.
