In the trade, that would be known as "thin cover for action." Very thin.

But good. Very Good.

It's the kind of cover that most people would not question. If someone were to come up to your vehicle and ask you what you are doing, you could just say that you were taking a transmission reading and show him some equipment. It also gives you a cover for hauling around a lot of sensitive communications equipment. The kind that could be used communicate things like.... troop location.

It also gives you cover to climb just about any transmission tower to covertly install some of that sensitive equipment.

Interesting. Is anyone outside of Free Republic asking these questions?

Did he have so much as an Ohm meter with him?

Do you think (as I do) that he was trying to freelance as a walk on agent?

Or did he think he was "delivering a communique from INT'L ANSWER to Al Queda?" Daddy: "They killed their best friend."

I don't think so. Also, I appreciate your earlier post regarding working on towers and in Iraq. This kid was operating in a war zone without a translator or driver (according to a Newsday reporter). By Berg's own admission he couldn't speak the language. Now I know several people who have found it thrilling to go to unsafe parts of the world, but they don't go stupid. (Meaning, they take up with a local or like-minded individuals, neither of which it looks like Berg did.)
