You left out the best part of this week's edition (Michael Givel, take note)
>> Moscow Rules 2007 <<
Tinker, tailor, barman, hooker
Britain may be cosying up to Russia in public,
but behind the scenes it's different. MI5 has
produced a new handbook to help Brits working
in Russia avoid the attentions of the FSB.
This is what you need to know:
* First, the FSB tries to start a friendly
relationship with you.
* Hotel staff, bar workers, taxi drivers and
hookers are often paid to spy on you.
* "Lavish entertaining, including the provision
of prostitutes and large amounts of alcohol,
may be used to trap visitors in compromising
situations."
* Only use a pre-pay phone, do not save any
data on the phone, including phone numbers.
* If two men sit down near you in a bar or
restaurant with a bag in between them on the
table, you're being watched by FSB. The bag
contains a recorder.
* Be very afraid.
FYI: Polonium 210 can teleport! When transported, it can migrate through walls, containers etc to be found in unexpected places. More: http://www.timhunkin.com/
