Hello,

I'm about to take a polygraph with a private polygrapher, and I have one question that I need answered before I go...

I've read TLBTLD.  Should any sort of countermeasures be applied during irrelevant questions?  Or should the normal relaxed breathing used during relevant questions be used?

I ask this, because I've had a friend who's failed the FBI entrance poly.. because he kept the same breathing rate during irrelevant questions as he did during relevant questions, and even though he applied successful countermeasures, they nailed him because they didn't understand why his breathing was the same between IR and R questions.

Any response in the next 2 hours would be EXTREMELY appreciated!

Thanks
