This edition includes a new section (Chapter 18) on countermeasures.


George,

Thanks for this fine addition to my polygraph information library. It will be put to good use. I found chapter 18 most interesting and hilarious. The funniest part being the MSD (Motion Sensor Devices).  Of note is that nothing about the use of mental countermeasures is even mentioned or interpreted as being collectable. This speaks volumes.  I consider this similar to fly fishing with an accordion. Makes alot of noise, but nothing is caught. The other important thing is the attempt by the polygrapher to mask and be non-accusatory if a subject has polygraph knowlege. Like anyone of consequence and audacity would cough up that information. Its great to have the opponents play book. The other thing to note is that any credits in the bibliography are extremely dated, 1999 being the newest data published. And a majority of the works cited are just polygrapher studies for polygraphers . Nothing notable or of any scientific validity.  If this is the best they got, then DODPI truly does live up to the trade school accreditation.

Regards .....
