Have you read TLBTD? 

The CQs are by nature questions to which you lie.   
"Have you ever committed a crime?"  Jaywalking is a crime, yet you are directed to say "No" to this question unless it is "serious."  What does serious mean?

I don't know how to answer your 2nd question, I think it is subjective.

I always mix tounge biting with controlled breathing AND sphinctor tension.

Is there a need to use CMs on RQs if you're not lying?  I never have and I forgot what TLBTD says about it... but I'll look.

I have passed many polygraphs using CMs.

??? ??? ???alright, i understand that' you can't deploy CM's during a revelant question.. but as far is controlled breathing.. is there any thing different in revelvant questions? What if one of the revelant questions is something i don't wanna answer truthfully? FOr example experimenting with pot..? do i employ a different breathing patternn. or do i TRY MY BEST to make reactions in controlled questions!
???

Underlyingtruth.....you always seem to have some good info and advice, but I am curious.  Why do you take so many polygraphs if you have had so much success in employing countermeasures and passing them all?

Also, if you are going to lie on one of the RQs, then is it best to lie on ALL of the CQs??  Or just lie on maybe one or two of them?  I figure if one lies on ALL of the CQs, then it will look pretty suspicious that the person is using countermeasures.

What have you found to work well for "controlled breathing?"  Do you do the "pause" in your breathing right after you say yes or no, as described in TLBTLD?

Underlying, if you can use them all at once, you're a wiser (and braver) man than I.  TLBTLD tends to suggest using 1 or at most 2 CM's, but I guess if you can monkey about more than that with your BFB, more power to you.

IMHO, I would use the mental CM's first.  While it can't be shown that a polygrapher can accurately diagnose the butt-clench CM, they might try to accuse you if presented with a repetitive sudden or gradual spike.  I caution on this because controlling your anal sphincter is a voluntary act in the poly setting, unlike after you went to the bathroom when sick or constipated.  Then, after you're done, the sphincter will often want to contract involuntarily and inconsistently in response to the physical discomfort it just experienced (sorry if this is gross, folks, but I'm being strictly clinical).

That brings me to the breathing CM.  I guess I am in a minority here, but I don't agree with the use of respiratory CM's on a general basis, or throughout a test.  In the interrogation setting, respiration is the one thing that is 100% voluntary, even more so than the sphincter.  When you breathe and think about it, as you would in a ploygraph, er, polygraph, you choose to breathe x amount in and y amount out (amplitude) on the r_t and r_d channels with varying, visible frequency.  This is the -one- thing the interrogator might (coin-flip chance) look at and say, "Why are you breathing Beethoven's 5th?  I see a pattern."  Unless you can come up with a very convoluted pattern, or breathe totally randomly, I foresee a risk in this CM.  You might try it on one CQ, but as your first line of defense, I would respectfully suggest mental CM's.

Why?  Poly-Man can't out you on a mental CM.  I don't believe polygraphers can find CM's with any more accuracy than George or Eos does, but supposing you just get too bloody involved with the breathing.  Your pattern is too good.  You present the conman with one more excuse to fail you.  If they've read TLBTLD, remember, they know the breathing patterns, too.

Myself, I have tested my physiological reactions to mental arithmetic, mental math (a difference exists), exciting/racy/provocative thoughts, and essentially trying to tense myself from the inside.  On the last, imagine trying to contract an adductor muscle without moving.  Start with the pit of your stomach and focus on different muscles, especially in the arms and legs.  "Feel" the tension and nervousness.  It created a slow-burn rise in my GSR, good for alternating with mental arithmetic (counting back by sevens), math (trying to resolve the quadratic formula from terms of 0 to terms of x... wonderful CM), and thinking of jumping off a cliff.

Hope all this helps some...

Definitely some great dialogue going on here.  I'd be curious to see what George has to say about all of this.  I'm thinking it might be best just to altogether avoid trying to breath in a particular pattern or rhythm, and instead just concentrate on doing the pause (supression) after answering "yes" or "no".  Combine this with the mental countermeasures as described earlier, and I would think this would suffice.

Ok, great thx for the help and comments.. afta further researchh of counter measures i concluded that i will use biting toung technique on the Control questions and control my breathing in variations. After a revelant question i will mantain my breating to normal rate.                                       What im confused about  is   mental counter measures.... such as multiplyin ur numbas in ur head..  that is used during a RQ or CQ... I dont understand how it helps in a CQ by raising ur response.... rather i see it in RQ as bypassing a question that you are "lying" such as not admitting to and keeping your mind off the subject.. Xplainn tat? sorry for the typing spelling hehehe im typing on a laptop which is really iritating cause i cant type well on it! lol  BTW.. my poly is in a week i will LET EVERYone know the results of my 2nd poly. MY first 1 i passed by being honest   but they had sensed alot of "high responses in few questions , which really wasnt high enuf to fail me
