I have a BIG CORRECTION to make.  I apologize for this in advance and sorry for any trouble I caused.  In my original posts, I claimed  that I was caught using CMs on "Control Questions" for pre-employment with a top secret government agency.  I had kept a personal journal of my recruitment process where I documented everything that occured, then stashed it away for some time.  I have just dug this journal up out of my clutter and discovered something.  The questions that I was asked on my polygraph WERE NOT CONTROL QUESTIONS, they were IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS as classified in TLBTLD book on this site.  I didn't realize this at first but after re-reading TLBTLD, I noticed this.  Therefore, I had been using the breathing method of CMs on the Irrelevant Questions, not Control Questions which are non-existent in this polygraph session.  I bet that by me using breathing CMs at the wrong time (TLBTLD says they should be used during control questions, not irrelevant questions), that I screwed myself.  This is likely the reason for my failure of the polygraph.  Well, I admit this mistake.  I recommend everyone reading TLBTLD thorougly  before you take a poly so you don't make the same mistake I did.  Anyway, I'm sorry for the confusion.  I used breating CMs at the wrong time and I screwed myself.   I have more faith in this website now.  I was busted due to only to my negligence.
