George,
It would violate the APA standards, it poses no threat to Dr. Richardson, therefore no fear of being caught using counter measures or fear of being found deceptive. If there is no consequence, there is no fear, if there is no fear there is no reaction. Possibly the challenge could be refered to others in the polygraph community with there being a fear or consiquence for being deceptive and using countermeasures. The stakes would have to be high to instill the necessary fear of detection of deception and countermeasures.
I am using DarkCorbra owns words, and I will give him credit for at least being an atypical examiner. But this is exactly the point why this web site exists. I will concede that a danger of this information on this web site poses an ethical dilemma when criminals can use it, and beat the polygrapher. But its a risk that those who believe in fairness must endure. Just one false positive to an innocent is wrong, PERIOD. This web sites information removes the fear, the unknowns and the anxiety. And from my own emperical tests, know that with the removal of the fear, the polygraph is just a line drawing machine. Because the examiner, whether its you DarkCobra or another examiner,you can not read my mind, and you can't beat the knowlege and the montra going on in my head .... this thing does not work, its a lie.
A disciplined mind will negate the use of any physical countermeasures. And using the physical type countermeasures is a recipe for failure. As I am sure that as this knowlege spreads, you and your examiner brethern are testing to see if you can detect the better and less detectable countermeasures. I know I would in your shoes.
Still the bottom line, Knowlege is power, and with the removal of the fear and anxiety. The best you will get is a "NO" No Opinion, or stalemate in Chess. THe best outcome is "NDI", and walking out knowing that its checkmate. But you might get a youngpup to cough up the info that he gleaned from here, but that is inexperience on that persons part. Again Experience is the difference. Happy Hunting
