Dr. Drew C. Richardson, the FBI's recently retired senior scientific expert on polygraph "testing," has reiterated a challenge to the polygraph community regarding polygraph countermeasures (methods of defeating polygraph "tests"). Polygraphers frequently claim that any experienced polygraph examiner can easily detect attempted polygraph countermeasures. Journalists have frequently parroted such claims without questioning them. But peer-reviewed research suggests that polygraphers cannot detect countermeasure attempts at better than chance levels of accuracy, and Dr. Richardson's challenge should be of interest to all concerned. You'll find it on the AntiPolygraph.org message board at: http://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?board=Proc&action=display George W.
