Retired Navy Seal Richard Marcinko tells an interesting story in one of his Rogue Warrior books. After the U.S. Embassy in Beruit was bombed in 1983, Marcinko and his Seal Team hunted Beruit for terrorist bomb makers by driving around the city with a device that transmitted electronic signals on a broad range of frequencies. Whenever one of these transmissions matched the bomb maker's chosen frequency, and if the bomb was "live" or active, there'd be an explosion. Marcinko recounts that success was measured by the number of explosions the Seals heard or observed while driving down the street.

I enjoyed many of Richard Marcinko’s books over the years! Not the language, but the content!
