 FBI ARREST PROCEDURE

* * * F B I A R R E S T P R O C E D U R E

You're probably already aware that the Spy & CounterSpy website is
currently
featuring a series of articles about FBI vehicle surveillance techniques.
 What you probably don't know is that we're holding back a lot of
information
because we consider it too sensitive for public consumption. However,
as a subscriber to F9, you'll have the opportunity to get the whole
story.

Quite often the FBI must arrest a suspect who is in a vehicle. When
it comes to FBI arrest procedures, don't believe what you see on TV.

In real life, it is not typical for FBI Special Agents to force a suspect's
car off the road, then leap from their car with handguns drawn, shouting,
"Keep your hands where I can see them! Now get out of the car!"

This scenario often ends in a shoot-out, where the FBI runs the risk
of losing evidence, suspects, and agents.

What you're about to read next was told to us by someone who was on
the receiving end of a vehicle arrest situation.

Our informant, whom we'll call Citizen A, was the driver. An acquaintance,
whom we'll call Citizen B, was in the passenger seat.

Seeming to come from out of nowhere, two FBI bucars pinned Citizen A's
car. (Bucar is slang for a bureau car -- an FBI vehicle.) One FBI
car stopped broadside immediately in front of Citizen A's car. A second
FBI car pulled up immediately behind Citizen A's car.

Even before the first FBI bucar had come to a full stop, Citizen B in
the passenger seat realized they were about to be arrested and began
shouting, "Go! Go! Go!"

But it was already too late.

An FBI agent leaped from the bucar in front. He was carrying a standard
police flashlight. (These are available on the open market under the
MagLite(tm) brand name). They are big, heavy tools -- built more like
a club than a flashlight.

The FBI agent stepped up to Suspect A's car and with two swings smashed
in the windshield. A moment later he had one hand around Citizen A's
throat. With his other hand he held a handgun to Citizen A's head.
 He was shouting "Keep your hands on the steering wheel."

Our informant told us that he'll never forget the feeling of broken
glass in his hair and down the back of his shirt.

Of course, while all this was happening to Citizen A in the driver's
seat, exactly the same thing was happening to Citizen B on the other
side of the car. Another FBI goon, another flashlight, another quick
entry through the windshield.

The entire arrest took less than 5 seconds.

As you probably already know, windshields are made of laminated glass.
 It breaks into rounded pebbles that won't cut the occupants of the
car. A couple of vigorous whacks from a police flashlight and the entire
windshield falls away. The visual shock and the noise will terrorize
and freeze the occupants, giving the FBI thugs time to get their hands
inside the car and apply "physical restraint" (that's polite talk for
grab-you-by-the-throat).

The lesson? Don't think of your vehicle as a sanctuary. It's more
like a holding pen when the FBI's goon squads are nearby.

Clearly, this is not a game for choir boys.

(SitRep is shorthand for situation report.)

ITEM #1 -- AUSTRALIA.
It has been reported to us that the Australian Security Intelligence
Organization (ASIO) is compiling dossiers on many Australian citizens
in preparation for the upcoming Olympics. It seems that if you so much
as jaywalk the ASIO goons consider you a potential terrorist.

ITEM #2 -- SWEDEN.
We've received reports that Sweden's security service, SAPO, is in the
process of hijacking Swedish airports. SAPO is taking over administration
functions, sacking long-term employees whom they consider a security
risk, and replacing them with SAPO operatives. It seems that belonging
to any political party other than the two mainstream parties is enough
to get a person dismissed. Public outcry is rising, but the government
is stonewalling and refuses to open an investigation into abuse of
authority
by the SAPO goons.

ITEM #3 -- EMAIL ENCRYPTION.
Here at Spy & CounterSpy we're testing a new email encryption system
called InvisiMail. It is based on the RPK mixture generator, whose
exponentiation math is as strong as PGP's. The software uses a hands-free
approach. The program runs in the background and automatically takes
care of exchanging public keys with recipients. If they've got InvisiMail,
the software encrypts your message automatically. If they don't have
InvisiMail, the software sends your message as plaintext. As an F9
subscriber, you may want to check out this new system. A free version
can be downloaded from http://www.invisimail.com. You can also download
from http://www.rpkusa.com. RPK encryption was developed in New Zealand,
away from the prying eyes of the FBI, NSA, CIA, and others. It is not
subject to any heavyhanded export restrictions. The patent-protected
algorithm is available for inspection -- they're offering a $10,000.00
reward to anyone who cracks RPK's binary keystream generator.
