Onesimus, The question, "Would you be able to keep our secrets even if it would mean the death of a loved one?" is an example of a "hypothetical control" question (see p. 104 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector, 3rd ed.).

As a side note, I also hear that one of our gov agency's pre-poly pep videos has an interesting error where the speaker is offering some consoling words and the captions in the video say the exact opposite.

I was talking to a friend the other day who knows a lot of polygraph casualties. One of his trusted friends (I'll call him "Bill") failed a polygraph and lost all his clearances. Bill believed he failed the question "Would you be able to keep our secrets even if it would mean the death of a loved one?" I told my friend this sounded like a control question, and if anything, Bill might not have shown enough of a reaction to this question. However, I've never heard of this question before as a control. Any thoughts?
