That is interesting as their training manual calls for the use of "everyday" items to use as signals. ie position of blinds, etc. I will have to notice in some areas around this town and see what I see. :) Do you think they were used for directions, and where were they on the stop signs? I want to know what to look for.

That kind of thing is in all of the better spy novels. Unfortunately, if the people in charge are well-adjusted to the target culture, then there will be virtually nothing out of the ordinary.

Our saving hope here is that since the Al Qaeda terrorists are Islamic fanatics and not familiar with U.S. culture, their "signs" will be... a little off, to someone who has grown up here.

very interesting.....thanks....

FWIW...I've asked the local police if they've ever heard of anything with teabags as signals for drugs/gangs, etc. NOPE, he says...and he's never heard the detectives talk about it...BUT...he's jotting it down with the info about the two black males in the white vehicle with Alabama tags.
