This will probably be my last post. Because, I will either be kicked out or screwed with so much I don't want to come back, which defeats the purpose of this site. I came to this site in hopes of getting some logical answers as to why an polygraph examination was administered with false results?
I've learned that, The polyographer, Has every intention to lie to get you to lie, and this acceptable, In the polyographer community. And that this can be countermeasured through deception. Also, That anyone who knows about this area is either prior law enforcement or future enforcement, And would rather try to prove how much they know to one another than to actually doing something about it... I for one am now against the so called polygraph test or more commonly known as "The Lie Detector". For Several reasons. (1) My wife told the truth and was hung out to dry! (2) I found that the examiner was only there for a trophy, And did not care who was really the guilty party, she just wanted to prove someone was lying. (3) You can't even get a straight answer from Law enforcement, (Because after reading most of the threads from officers or future officers they had to lie or deceive to pass the test). So what have I to go on? I will admit, I don't have a clue as to the polygraph theory. But what I do know is this. If your a cop, And you deceived the test, then you can't be trusted. If you are in an NSA, FBI, Secuity field officer and you deceived the test, then you can't be trusted. Who do you put your faith in? I've read threads about law enforcement candidates saying thank you, for the book. These candidates are a piece of work! Do you think all the officers had to deceive to get the position? The honest ones got the job because they are truly honest. Also, The threads i've read are from candidates who have had an questionable childhood and are seeking an loophole deception to get what they want. If you were already a cop you'd say you have to play by the rules. And since your not already an badged officer so do you! And for those who wish to deceive, KISS MY ASS!!! Just because you can deceive an polygraph does not make you better or more honrable than anyone else, nor does a badge and a gun. your not to be trusted in my eyes. And if you are truly of honor, Stand up, tell the truth! Thats what being an police officer is made of. And there is never any shame in telling the truth! If you can qualify without lying or deception you are truly the person for the job! 
And for those of you with the anti-polygraph movement in site keep up the hard work and know that you have law biding citizens behind you! And will support you.
KEEP IT REAL!

Polycop, you forgot:

Hey I remember that thread. That's the discussion in which pro-polygraph contributor 'public_servant' [bleh!] confirmed the insanity that is the pro-polygraph viewpoint by stating in part:

Quote:


To which I replied, So if one is too intellectual or introspective, too passionate, too well-educated, or most incredibly, built physically improperly or mentally 'unsuitable', the polygraph won't work? Gee, is there anyone in the US populace who DOESN'T belong in one of the above-cited demographics? And would a potential polygraph examinee get a pass on his polygraph interrogation if he laid claim to one or more of the characteristics you mention above? Or, would you simply conclude he or she was 'trying to hide something' and thus heighten your suspicions of that person, further prejudicing the examination?

I have yet to receive a response to that one.

Let us also reflect on the beard-scratching hypocrisy of yet another conflicting statement by the pro-polygraph community. Depending upon with whom you speak in the pro-polyraph community, and apparently at what time of the day and-- who knows-- perhaps even the position of the stars in the sky, the countermeasures described on this website are either 1. easily detected and defeated (but they can't tell us how) or are 2. dangerous techniques that are likened to the publishing of high explosives manuals, the production of masking agents, or the sale of illegal cable descramblers.... well, it kind of petered out there at the end in terms of drama... you work with what you've been given.
