Thanks George and AP.org!

Passed my polygraph! I lied on one question and I used the control breathing method as much as I could. I went in with the mindset that I was going to beat it and I did! The control questions the examiner asked were not good (lol). Anyways thanks all for the help !

Scmike,

Tell us more about your experience.  Did the polygrapher play any "games" with you?  Did he/she make any claims as to the accuracy of the machine?

Yeah, right!?  I missed the section in TLBTLD that instructed you to lie to one question (Duh? Which question was it for you) and control your breathing "as much as possible" in order to beat the examiner...  

The CQ's were no good?  If this is the case, sounds to me like you had had an R/I not a CQT.  Otherwise, how would you have been deemed NDI?"

Interesting tidbit of misinformation; either that or your examiner was alseep during the test...

P.S.  As for Cullen's comments.  Yes, do tell us.  Did he stand on his head, did he wear a yellow bow tie, did he do magic tricks with a donkey and swirling plates...?

Geez Sackett,
I never said that the TLBTLD instructed me to lie, I was just informing to anyone out there that it is beatable.

What's an R/I ?

From the mouths of babes.  You proved my point.  Here you are, thanking George, for what?  Apparently, nothing!

Sounds like your examiner was either alseep at the wheel, or that your "lie" was not as big a deal as you thought it was...
