Bad advice? The countermeasures in TLBTLD work, and they work wonderfully. I've got three passed polygraphs to prove it.

What DOESN'T work is the polygraph itself - this elaborate pseudo-system of unethical lies in a pathetic attempt to determine if someone is 'lying.'
If it DID work, its results would be admissible in court - and they're not. If it DID work, it wouldn't have such an incredibly high false positive rate - and it does. If it DID work, the asinine stupid thing you morons do with the card in the beginning of the test would yield a result - and it doesn't.

Lie detection is nought more than a modern day witch hunt within the law enforcement community: despite the fact that everyone knows it's bunk, we all agree to the lie. Anyone who disagrees is, of course, accused of lying.

It's okay - every day this site is here, every time someone learns the truth, we move one step closer to the eradication of this nonsense. Plenty of police departments don't use them, and they are illegal in MN.

Keep it up, Polypropelyne. Just keep TELLING yourself it's true. Close your eyes and say, "I believe! I believe!" despite all evidence to the contrary. (It's what you've been doing all along.)

I told the truth on all the relevant questions.

Oh, I can't attribute my passing to the use of countermeasures? Perhaps not in your skewed world.

Then answer this question:

Why did I 'fail' my first polygraph interrogation if the information I gave was THE EXACT SAME as subsequent interrogations which I 'passed?' Scientific results are replicable, right?

Why did the truth only 'pass' me when I started using countermeasures?

If you're really interested in weeding out the 'cheaters' and 'liars' in law enforcement Plastic Poly, then you should resign immediately.

And this isn't meant as a juvenile insult - on EVERY so-called "polygraph exam" you're administering, you're lying to your examinees. Every time you  generate a false positive and disqualify a truthful person for lying, you're cheating that honest person out of a career.

So go ahead and quit. Get rid of at least one lying cheater.

Despite Plastic Polly's refusal to answer any of my rebuttals, she's absolutely right. Heed the advice:
Read The Lie Behind The Lie Detector, and employ the mental countermeasures if you have to take one of those pseudo-scientific 'tests' for employment purposes. Other than that, steer clear of them.

No indeedy.

What you're saying is "if I suspect you are using CMs, I'm going to fail you and my word is law". I don't believe you or anyone else can read minds.

I was accused of using countermeasures.  I just stayed calm and simply asked him to elaborate on what specifically he noticed me doing.  He just sort of grumbled that "I knew" and then resumed the test.  It never came up again!  If he actually suspected me, he would have failed me right there on the spot.  What a joke.  Nothing they say can be taken at face value.  Really the only thing you can 100% reliably do is to protect yourself from self-incrimination.  For teaching me that important fact, I am beyond grateful for TLBTLD.
