Rug burn!!!  George, you must print a new edition right away and incorporate this new technique - this is brilliant!

do you pucker several times for 8-20 sec or pucker ans hold?

True,

According to Doug Williams' book, you should gradually and subtley tighten (never more than half tension), then relax your anal sphincter muscle over a period of 7 to 9 seconds (immediately following a control question).  In other words, slowly and gently tighten up to no more than 5 seconds, then slowly and gently relax til you reach 9 seconds.  After that, totally relax and  return to your normal breathing pattern.  Your cardio rise should peak at about 4 to 5 seconds.  Your breathing pattern should also show the required reaction during this time period.   

This is tougher than it sounds.  It takes some practice to manipulate the breathing and the "squeeze" with the proper timing.  It's also tough to relax between the "reaction" (lasting approx 10 sec) and the next question (which comes approx every 25 sec).  The key is to execute the manipulations subtley, and don't overreact with your breathing or anal sphincter squeeze.   

I practiced my reactions to tape recorded questions and a stopwatch for approx 2 days before my polygraph, and I had no problems passing the exam.   

Good luck.

Kona,

Did you have anything to hide regarding relevant issues on your polygraph?  Just curious....

Kona,

Was your first test found "deceptive" or "inconclusive"? If it was actually a DI test, why do you think you were granted a re-test so quickly?  A true DI test generally would require a lengthy appeal process prior to a re-test being granted.

Ray,

My examiner actually showed me my chart with the pneumo, cardio, and GSR spikes, and asked if I knew why I was reacting to certain drug questions.  I told him that I had no idea, since I've never been a drug user.  He was very persistant in trying to get me to admit to using or experimenting with drugs (specifically methanphetamines) during this post test interrogation.  He kept telling me that the machine doesn't lie, and that I needed to come clean.  I have never touched methanphetamines, and told him exactly that.  The examiner then asked me to take my shoes off, and he actually felt inside of them (for a tack?).  From what I know now, he obviously suspected countermeasures (I didn't know what they were at the time) but couldn't find anything to confirm his suspicions.  Maybe it was my insistance that I had never done drugs, or maybe deep down he actually believed me.....I don't know for sure, but he told me that he thought I was an excellent candidate for the department, but we needed to straighten this out.  He told me he was going to give me a week to think about my answers, and schedule me for another polygraph.  He also told me that I could call him at any time during the next week if I happened to remember any drug use.  I left the polygraph office extremely pissed off, and wasn't going to come back the following week.  I calmed down after a day, and started to do some research on the polygraph.  I came across this site and Doug Williams' website.  After educating myself on the process, I felt like a complete idiot for putting myself into that situation without doing my homework on the polygraph.  Thanks to guys like George and Doug, I learned what a joke the polygraph really is, and was able to prepare myself accordingly for my re-test.
