The time has come.  I passed the background investigation and are now waiting for the agency to schedule me for the polygraph.  I read and re-read TLBTLD chapters 3 and 4.  I believe I have a good handle of identifing control questions and how to apply countermeasures.  I practiced baseline breathing and I practiced the anal pucker.  I am not comfortable with tounge biting so I will forgo that one.  I think I have the behavioral countermeasures down and know how to appear honest.  As I mentioned before, I will have to lie in order to get the job I seek.  I am not proud of lieing, however, I want this job and I will do everything I can to get it.  If I fail the polygraph, then all I can say is I tried.  If I pass the polygraph, then I will be able to give my testimony that countermeasures work and the polygraph can be defeated.  I will post the results here, pass or fail.  

If anyone has any advise or input, feel free to comment.
