I wouldn't worry about Teddy bear.  I doubt he even exists.  Most of these "success" stories are simply figments of George and his elves' imagination.

And just how do you know this to be true? Perhaps a fairy whispered in your ear?

While it is possible that "Ted Seals" is a prankster (perhaps intent on sending the LAPD polygraph unit chasing their tails), I see no a priori reason to assume that such is the case. For me, his mention (and correct identification) of "hypothetical control" questions not included in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (see p. 104 of the 3rd ed.) lends credence to his post.

With The Lie Behind the Lie Detector averaging over 100 downloads a day, the countermeasure success stories posted on this message board are likely just the tip of the iceberg.
