My favorite part was the trainees being told to be standing on a high-story balcony in an apartment building within a certain amount of time, with a glass of water in hand. Break-ins and such of course ensued. That's not what the Mossad wants, they want deception, finesse. The author said he knocked on the door and portrayed himself as being from the traffic agency, which was planning to put traffic cameras on her building to monitor traffic flows. Those hosting the cameras would be paid a nominal fee of course. She let him in, he went to the balcony to supposedly check the view of the traffic, and asked for a glass of water while he was there.
That's a scene in the movie Spy Game, I believe.
