Travel Tips From the CIA

by admin on January 30th, 2007

Seth Godin pointed me to Floodle.net. The site’s owner buys PDFs and other information products on eBay, and then posts them for free on Floodle. That sounds more unethical than it is, I think, because a lot of the content he buys has already been copied from a legitimate source.

One book that interested me was the CIA Book of Dirty Tricks. I downloaded it, and while cruising through it, discovered a couple of pages on nefarious pranks to play at the airport:

You might try to slip a couple of rounds of pistol ammunition or a
switchblade knife into your mark’s pocket just before he goes through the
metal detector at the airport terminal. You could also slip some drugs into
his pocket at the same time. Read a book on pick-pocketing to note the
technique for doing this. It’s quite easy since you are placing stuff back.

Very naughty. There’s another 117 pages of similar ways to mess with your fellow man.
