Seems pretty obvious to me... Security cameras obviously show what they see, potentially useful...
Dating sites - There is a long history of romance being used as a means of espionage... Back in the WWII days there was the saying "Loose Lips Sink Ships" as a constant reminder to sailors not to talk about their activities w/ barmaids and so on... A horny soldier on a dating site might leak all sorts of potentially useful info - what unit he's in? "Sorry honey I'm leaving on maneuvers"? and so on... This could be both f his 'sweetheart' is legit but he's being monitored, or possibly easier if she is really a Ukrainian who can pump him for info by asking innocent sounding questions.... We all know guys that think w/ their balls instead of their brains, and you can't indoctrinate the balls with a need to keep their mouth shut... ex-Gooserider ------------------ Arthur Torrey - <[email protected]> ------------------- > > 1.
