Subject: Professional Organization for TSCM operators
I was perusing another members BB when I ran across a question from an
operator who bemoaned the abscence of an organization specifically for
TSCM. Not knowing if this has been covered I offer the following
information:
Business Espionage Controls & Countermeasures Association
PO Box 260
Ft. Washington, MD 20749
ph: 301 292-6430
A word of caution to those that work both sides of the line. BECCA has
a mission: "To make life as difficult and dangerous as possible for the
espionage practitioner". BECCA has screening criteria for applicants, a
Code of Ethics, Certified Confidentiality Officer training (very
thorough, and expert) and certification, and a current President (Glenn
Whidden) whom I consider the Dean, if not the father, of modern TSCM.
Many of the members are anonymous but still exchange ideas through The
Business Espionage Report, published in hard copy form monthly.
Legitimate and honest trade-crafters are encouraged to contact the
organization. There is a Web site located at:

Tim; Really enjoyed the BB section at your site, please re-post to your
BB if inclined.
Thanks,

I invited Augie to stop by occasionally with some of the things he has tried to do that were somewhat successful; many of them (from what I understand) went away in a puff of smoke and a flash of fire.
He is also willing to answer questions regarding locks.

Subject: POST please. "Pager Switches"
Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com)
Hi guys, Im a bit new to this list. Im going to just jump right in and make
myself at home. The following is a post that I made not too long ago on a
surveillance forum.
Someone asked a question.....I hope I served the proper answer. This is one
of my favorite writing on a very interesting subject. Enjoy. :-)

Question for Bad:
>>What's this again? Use a pager as a remote control? I missed
>>this particular seminar.....please explain how this is done! (or where I
>>could go to find out!) Thanks......zerohero
Basic theory. Your pager is none more than a remote switch. You call, signal
goes wherever it goes.....and then comes back down and activates a switch that
is connected to your pagers "beeper" or buzzer or vibrator. (vibrator?) :-)
Its that simple. Concept: If you can by calling your pager....activate your
buzzer.....you can also activate "anything" else by connecting it to a switch.
When you get paged, a burst of power goes to the buzzer. Instead of it going
to the buzer....you've bypassed it and that same burst is now used to
open/close a switch that is connected to "whatever".
"Switches", concept of....is the single most important thing I have learned.
It is endless on what you can do with them.
Your alarm clock....same thing.
Set for 12:00am. At 12:00 am....your alarm clock does NOT go off. A signal is
being sent at that time....to the buzzer.
Have a ball.......disconect that buzzer and re-route it to operate/turn on
something else instead of the speaker. Lots of fun.
Tricks in life is to......
Seek things where you can use multi million dollar equipment.....like
cells/pagers...and not have to own it.
Think of it.....pager/cell switches. Your using a multi million dollar switch.
:-)
Can someone here please post the tech end of this switch post in modifications
to a pager please. Switch types apreciated.
Monday's post will have a VERY unique (or not) utilization of multiple
switches from modified basic equipment for one particular use.....it's a good
one. Stay tuned.
Ps- ANYTHING electronic...works on a switch. Even if it does not have a switch
and you manually connect wire...."you" are the switch.
Remote switches come in a LOT of different varieties. Car cellanoids, remote
controls set off a switch, remote car alarms, TV remotes, beepers,
cells.......endless
2 way radios? Hmmmm......when you "talk" the other unit goes from "stand bye"
to "active"....something made that happen. A switch of some type. Sounds like
a good 2 mile switch to me.
Surveillance? Where do you start? "SWITCHES"

This came in today. I've seen it before as you probably have also. Still
made me chuckle. I think a couple of these guys may have worked for me.
The British Military writes OFR's (officer fitness reports).
The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is
the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from
people's "206's"....
- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of
curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been,
but more of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only
to change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to
his entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- Technically sound, but socially impossible.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope -
always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not
really going anywhere.
- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a
granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his
genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him
from bar to bar.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has
started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently
fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the
better.
- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly
below 250 feet.
- The only ship I would recommend this man for is
citizenship.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered
like a rat in a trap.
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- Only occasionally wets himself under pressure.
Happy New Year

Heaven and Hell
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place." So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon,the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?
" Satan replies, "Hey, things aregoing great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators,and there's no telling what this engineer is g oing to come up with next.
God replies, What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten
down there; send him up here." Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan laughs uproariously
and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
Merry Christmas.
