You are afraid because you are an honest person. You know that counter measures go beyond your moral and ethical principles, and just thinking about using counter measures disturb you. There is no need to worry if you tell the truth. Two and a half years will not even put a dent in the honesty that has been instilled in you, over a lifetime by your parents. Tell the truth, and pass the polygraph examination with flying colors. I guarantee your next post on this site will shock most readers.


"When you were growing up, if you are like most people, you
were raised to know the difference between right and wrong.
Quite probably, all of the adults you came in contact with--your
parents, grandparents, relatives, teachers, church officials--taught
you that lying, cheating, and stealing were wrong. Ever since you
were a young child, you have been programmed to know that
lying is wrong. Think about the first time you lied and got caught.
Remember how your body felt during that confrontation. Your
heart may have been racing or you may have been sweating.
However, the responses were automatic; your body adjusted to
the stress of the situation.
People are not always 100% honest. Sometimes it is kinder and
more socially acceptable to lie than to be honest - such as telling
someone you like their clothes when you really think the clothes
are awful. It is important for you to understand that even though a lie might be socially acceptable or only a small lie, or a lie by
omission, your body still responds. The recording on the polygraph will show only the physiological responses. It cannot know what kind of lie you are telling. Therefore, it is extremely important that you be totally honest…


The words quoted above rang in my head as I read your hokum. They're from the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute, as quoted in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector. Both that statement, as well as your statement above, are lies.
