Get real. No polygraph operator has ever demonstrated the ability to detect the kinds of countermeasures outlined in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector, and Dr. Drew Richardson's countermeasure challenge has now gone a decade without takers.

Anyone facing polygraph "testing" is well advised to do that which is possible to protect themselves against this inherently unreliable, fraudulent procedure.


I was accused of using countermeasures.  I just stayed calm and simply asked him to elaborate on what specifically he noticed me doing.  He just sort of grumbled that "I knew" and then resumed the test.  It never came up again!  If he actually suspected me, he would have failed me right there on the spot.  What a joke.  Nothing they say can be taken at face value.  Really the only thing you can 100% reliably do is to protect yourself from self-incrimination.  For teaching me that important fact, I am beyond grateful for TLBTLD.
