Friday, 18 September 2020 marks AntiPolygraph.org’s 20th anniversary online. Over the past two decades, we have published five editions of our featured publication, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector<\/a><\/em>, which with hundreds of thousands of downloads, is arguably the most widely read book on the topic of polygraphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AntiPolygraph.org has also curated the internet’s largest public repository of polygraph documentation<\/a>. Key government policy documents that were previously unavailable to the public are now readily accessible to all, including the federal polygraph handbook<\/a> and administration guides for such polygraph techniques as the Test for Espionage and Sabotage<\/a> (TES), the Test for Espionage, Sabotage, and Corruption<\/a> (TES-C), and the Law Enforcement Pre-Employment Test<\/a> (LEPET).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AntiPolygraph.org has made extensive documentation about polygraph countermeasures<\/a>\u2014information both the federal government and the polygraph community at large have actively sought to keep hidden from the public\u2014readily available and free for all who seek it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we’ve done original reporting and commentary on polygraph-related topics, most notably on our blog<\/a>. We have never revealed the identity of a source who requested anonymity, and we’ve never received a secret government order for information about any of our visitors or sources. In recent years, we’ve made available a means for secure and anonymous submission of files<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We avoided an apparent entrapment attempt<\/a> in the federal government’s misbegotten Operation Lie Busters<\/a>, in which federal polygraph operators targeted individuals who provided instruction on how to pass or beat a polygraph “test” for entrapment and criminal prosecution, and we provided on-scene reporting<\/a> from the courtroom in Oklahoma City where prominent polygraph critic Doug Williams<\/a> stood trial in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, we have also received and rejected take-down demands from lawyers for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
