If you simply name a polygraph expert it's not an ethics violation.
Unless you tell a bunch of lies about him. Then it's an ethics violation.
Unless you pass a polygraph test about the lies. Then it's not an ethics violation.
Unless you use countermeasures...
Aunty is sorry, but she finds it very difficult to be serious while using "polygraph" and "ethics" in the same sentence.
Aunty - You are a literary genius ! You put it very well and nailed it ! Several years ago I got a letter from the Army advising me that a contractor failed to secure sensitive information and all of my military personnel file might have landed in enemy hands. Last week I got a similar letter from OPM advising that due to their incompetence some wicked force (according to the media the Chinese) probably also have everything there is to know about me. I wish the Government put as much effort into protecting my vital information as they put into screwing up my life with the polygraph.

The complainant told me that the nationally known polygraph expert not only refused to provide a complete copy of the "test" (including video), but also refused to provide the test subject with copies of the agreements (consent forms) the subject signed prior to the "test."
Mind you, all of this came to me via a phone call out of the blue, purportedly from an A-P forum viewer.
Fiction? Maybe.
But if this is all true, it's inexcusable.

I was recently contacted by yet another purported vctim of polygraph science.
In this case, the individual wants a quality assurance review to be conducted by an independent examiner of their choosing.
The original examiner refuses to cooperate.
Why would the examiner -- who happens to be a nationally known polygraph "expert" -- refuse to release the video (and all the data) of his exam to the very subject who took his "test"?

Yes I know that now I had NEVER done it before NOW I have Personal First Hand Experience
Sorry for the sarcasm Dumbfreddy. I sometimes have difficulty finding the right words to express my extreme displeasure for the polygraph. If I truly spoke my mind it would not fit the decorum of this site. Think of your experience and then think of a combat veteran who has been through the horrors of war and even wounded only to come back and lose a job or a clearance because a machine declared he or she is "unreliable" because of a biological reaction that only God can really explain. Can anyone else grasp the magnitude of this ongoing [u]insanity[/u] ?
Although I enjoy reading the dialogue on this site, I am chagrined that I appear to be the only person in the United States who understands the full magnitude of the absolute unjust and un-American way that good people have their lives ruined with no appeal solely through the polygraph. It is like people being executed for jaywalking and we are arguing about how we should post "no-Jaywalking" signs.
