My dad had to take my 00 stang in while I was away and It failed CT emissions, My dad said he didn't get to watch, and the guy said he couldn't plug into the diagnostic port or something, does that even sound right? I only talked to my dad for about a minute since I have finals this week, I wasn't shooting any codes so he most likely failed my car on inspection, or didn't know how to use his machine and sniffed it,

Really need more details about exactly what it failed and what sort of emission test CT has. Dyno? Code reader?

It's very easy to plug into the OBD-II port... I'd say the guy is retarded and probably screwed up.

I have the exact same thing happen to me last year... when trying to get my mom's minivan to pass emssions. In my case, for some reason or another, the minvan's computer woudn't talk to the technicians computer. He failed it just because of that, and neither me nor my dad wanted to mess with that mazda, so just took it to a local shop and asked them to get it to pass emissions. Whatever they did, it worked.
