How many of those are examiners , and how many actually read it ???

I have downloaded it more than once because my computer had crashed and the HD had to be reformated. It wasn't one of my backed up files since it is readily available. OTOH, some would share it with others (as suggested) so that would work in the opposite direction.

All in all, it is well written and is probably one of the texts anyone interested in the polygraph should read.

Did you read it, polylawman?

Way to go Public Servant. 
Did you ever try the methods discussed in the book? I have and they are difficult to do and I give exams. 
Good luck to all those who try.

Kind of interesting that your children should even know about the polygraph. How are they being raised??? As for the polygraph. I usually don't polygraph zealots such as the malcontents on this site who have studied for years on how to beat the poly. I do criminal polygraphs. It's kind of interesting that most of  people that post on this site will never even have to take ANOTHER polygraph. They have already failed and have an axe to grind. Don't they george.

The malcontents on this site are people. Must of them seem to be dedicated folks that have been denied employment with law enforcement solely on the basis of a polygraph. Does this not seem wrong to you?
 
As for " Beating the Polygraph" this may be your perspective. The way I see it, for whatever my humble opinion is worth, they come only seeking knowledge on how to better protect themselfs from being victimized from the likes of you.

Dear Fred F.,

I only wish I was that important in life.  To the FBI, I am just one of thousands of applicants.  I do not beleive that the FBI wants to specifically destroy my career.  I do now think that the polygraph examiners would like me to go away so that the procedure does not get any more scrutiny.  The notification letter stating that my application was not going to get any more consideration had absolutely no information on how an applicant might appeal their situation.  As an experienced federal worker, I understand that ALL procedures have to have some type of process to handle disputes.  Why make it so difficult to find on what information a decision was made unless the decision was not founded on logical thinking?

In order to destroy my career, the FBI would have to undo my life.  I want the FBI to perform the most intensive background investigation possible (assuming that they want do destroy my career, they would spare no time or expense looking under all the rocks).  I will pass with flying colors.

My disgust with the current applicant system stems from the fact that there is no background investigation BEFORE the polygraph and NONE is fourthcoming if the polygraph results accuse an applicant of improprieties.  THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR ONE'S REPUTATION FROM ACCUSATIONS MADE STRICTLY ON THE INTERPRETATIONS OF A GROUP OF HIDDEN SECRET POLYGRAPH INTERPRETERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C..

Fred, I believe the more light that is shined under my rock, the better I will look.  Why must these polygraph interpreters in Washington, D.C., operate in the shadows of secrecy?  When everything is complete, I will do a Freedom of Information Reguest on my file and I know I will not see any information under six months.

Forgive my long winded answer, every time I think about the situation it becomes more absurd.  Many men and women have been killed or maimed in service to our country.  My problem is quite trival compared to their experiences.  I now fight to try and improve the system, I am not a radical or rebel.  My father stated a saying that I have always lived by,"Evil will triumph when good men stand by and do nothing about it."  I do think the polygraph is having a negative effect on recruiting the best for America and now more then ever, we need the best in law enforcement.
