My advice is:

1. Retain legal counsel.

2. Review past cases that are similar to yours to find what kind of facts and evidence have successfully mitigated security concerns in the past. In this regard, see the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals' industrial security clearance decisions:

Pailryder:  It is breaking news for a polygraph operator to finally admit that a person must use "cm's" to protect themselves from being falsely branded as a liar!  CONGRATULATIONS on finally making that admission!   

Will you now also admit that the polygraph is not a "lie detector" and that it is simply a prop used by interrogators to frighten and intimidate people?

Just so YOU'RE clear, you said "did you understand and properly employ any cm's to protect yourself?"  Protect himself from what? Being falsely accused of lying? If not, then what was he trying to protect himself from by using cm's?

Sorry, my mistake!  I thought you had finally decided to join me and tell the truth about the so-called "lie detector".  Obviously I was wrong.  You were just trolling -  trying to get the poor guy to admit that he had tried to use cm's so you could brag about how they didn't work.  And you wanted to get the sadistic satisfaction that guys like you derive from pointing out that the big bad polygrapher scared the hell out of him and got him to admit something.

How can you be sure what he admitted was the truth?--because he said so?

@george - thanks for the only actual advice in this thread.  I have reviewed several cases and that is why I was able to mitigate the other areas.  I have my defense prepared but I was wondering if anyone had luck in a similar situation before, hence why I posted.

@pailryder - My CMs were not effective - if they were I'd have passed and wouldn't be here.  But that has nothing to do with TLBTLDT, it's me.  I know someone who is a pathological liar and has done plenty of things that would prevent him from ever getting SCI and he was in and out of the polygraph in an hour.  The whole thing is an interrogation and the polygraph only works because people believe it does.  The polygraph will not prevent the next Snowden.

@doug - I'm not entirely innocent here. I did omit some things at first because I felt they were minor / not what the polygrapher was looking for.  My polygrapher was an idiot and I saw after the fact how badly s/he twisted my words against me.  I've been able to undo a lot of that.  I'm not condoning the use of CMs, but I feel genuinely good people need some sort of defense against this archaic process.

Describing my training as teaching "countermeasures" so liars can pass the polygraph "test" is the same thing as describing the polygraph as a "lie detector"!  Both descriptions are PURE, UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT!

Why do polygraph operators tell people not to research the polygraph before they take their test?  It is very simple - the only way they can intimidate people with the polygraph is to keep them ignorant about how it works.  When polygraph operators say I teach people "countermeasures" in order for them to "beat the test".  I simply say, that's bullshit, because polygraph operators routinely call truthful people liars - and my technique is the only way for honest, truthful people to protect themselves from being falsely accused of lying.  Go to the MEDIA page of my website, www.polygraph.com, and watch the CBS 60 MINUTES investigative report I helped to produce and see the proof yourself - three out of three polygraph operators called three different truthful people liars on a crime that never even happened!  You may also enjoy watching me prove THE LIE DETECTOR IS BULLSHIT on Showtime's PENN & TELLER: BULLSHIT!

So, let me emphasize this - I DON'T TEACH SO-CALLED "COUNTERMEASURES" - I simply teach people how to ALWAYS PASS by knowing how to show a perfect "truthful" polygraph chart!  The word "countermeasures" is a word that has been misappropriated by polygraph examiners - it is used to describe what they say is a means to thwart their ability to detect deception.  But polygraph operators have always maintained that they can tell when a person is using these so-called "countermeasures".  If that is true, how can anyone use them "beat" the test?
