***If the "tipped" ship is searched, they know they have a leak and plug it, or go to alternate comms for the "real" act of terrorism involving a ship.***

AKA *Walking the cat* Remember that just before the magician gets away with what he wants you to overlook, he feeds you an act of misdirection beforehand.

But as a warning for an action about to come, that can also serve as a beforehand tipoff.

Good point. I'm going to remember the "walking the cat" phrase also. You may see it in print some day.

BTW, I just received 500 brand new 2nd editions for signed copies. Plus 1,700 more of them back at the warehouse in Kansas for bulk orders. I got books, lots of books! Gotta run now and start stuffing pre-addressed mailers, to get them out today.

Good point! When's the last time you heard of a ship tipping over while loading(In NY bedsides). Now wondering about the 3 guys that got trapped in the hold and the various sailors on that ship.
