Dan, Ha! Oklahoma has come long way since the dust bowl. Google the images of "Bricktown Okc" "Devon Tower" and "Gaillardia Okc" ...not to mention Kevin Durant , Toby Keith, and the King, Barry Switzer, are all here. The Notre Dame football team haa arrived for tomorrows big game! They finally opened a Whole Foods in Okc too. Love that place. Oh - and Mr. "polygraph.com" unfortunately lives here ( sidenote: i wish the APA could take a collection, pool our collective resources, and buy Doug's domain name from him. It would be worth the investment for PR purposes). As far as the museum, I have not been to it but am familiar with it and have driven by it many times! Corey IP: Logged |

"That means defining, operationalizing, etc., and then testing. Where that leads, who knows?"Barry, This leads to research and development within our industry. That is where Cleve Backster started, and others of his caliber. (there are many). When we jump ahead of ourselves and proclaim a hunch to be a fact, we have erred and need to re-examine ourselves and our knowledge base. I do appreciate those working on new ideas and testing them, you are among many that keep us safe from ourselves with the studies and research being conducted. Thanks for your efforts. IP: Logged |

In light of all the cautions and concerns about open-book polygraphy, should such tests be deemed null and void?IP: Logged |

The notion of "open-book" may be the wrong way of thinking about this. It may be more effective - and may increase the defensibility of our tests - if we think of this in terms of informed consent. The information is already available, and already widely read. And the test still works. We are naive if we believe anyone who has not searched the internet and read about the polygraph prior to their exam. Then again, perhaps we are cynical and biased if we don't believe anyone. As long as you are conducting the test according to established protocols, and as long as you are not coaching or encouraging the use of countermeasures, then the test circumstances are probably not much different than many others. .02 r
