Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life

http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-That-Save-Your-Life/dp/0399175148

I seen this guy on the news a few days ago and I was impressed so I just had to buy it! I've always wanted to be in the CIA as a field agent. You know, go to the "farm" learn all the techniques, know how to make one time pads, etc. I have a collection of other books that are similar in nature dealing with the SAS, tracking, lock picking (yes, I can pick a lock and hand cuffs), etc. I even have a fighting techniques book. And yes, I read the famous
Arsonist Cookbook.

I just LOVE learning the black art of this sort of thing. I'm really interested in Jason's technique to detect when someone is lying. That could come in mighty handy!

Maybe you should work on your grammar skills first.

Why is "arsonist cookbook" in spoiler alert tags? :confused:

I came expecting fail and lols, in that order. I have not been disappointed.

The best thing about being a CIA. NSA, CSIS etc agent is that you still have a regular job and life, and nobody knows any better. In that process you also double dip. I'm They're not allowed to say they even are an agent, either.

Ehh I dunno about that. Fail, sure, but lols are more rare. Maybe it's just that I have such discerning tastes.

I laugh at the fails. Therefore if 75% are fails then 75% generate laughter. Sure, some of them are not as funny as the Arsonist's Cookbook, but they're still good.

Read a few chapters and I was reading about weapons and the author, Jason Hanson mentions this tactical pen. He gives his website address to buy this tactical pen and he's charging $35 + shipping. I was like, I bet I could find the same thing on ebay. And sure enough I did. So I bought this for around $12. LOL

This pen can be used to break glass and is like a kubaton. Jason Hanson also mentions you can take it on a plane, so that was appealing to me. This pen is made from aircraft aluminum and Jason Hanson mentions he showed his class how he drove it into an ice block. I believe it after getting this pen. Nice little self-defense weapon.

Stabbing a crying baby on an airplane won't be viewed as self-defense.
