It'll be one of his dupes that loses his cool! - With all the means of communication at our disposal, everything that happens travels around the world in minutes. Twelve years of watching news pop up here on FR long before it hits even AM radio has convinced me that it would be just plain impossible to have any level of surprise at all, no matter what he might want to try. Cell phones, VHF, CB, Ham radio, and email chains are all quite amazing.
