I was once sat on a bench smoking a bifter when a plained clothed policeman walked up to me, introduced himself and asked if I wanted to earn £20 being in a line up. I took it. Not bad for 10 minutes work in those days.
Was that back in the days when they lined up 9 whites and one black suspect?
My brother did penetration testing once when he was in the army. They had to break into as many military establishments in Gibraltar as they could. The were also told that the local police and the military units did not know about them so ... erm ... try to be careful!
Myself and a few former colleagues once broke into Leicester Prison.
One of my friends did security scenarios in the docklands. One time he had to walk around Canary Wharf with a fake suicide vest on, another time he had to go into the HSBC building with a parachute and try and get on the roof. It sounds like fun but would always be the nagging doubt in the back of your mind that the communication that it was only a simulation may not reach everyone.

Forgot to mention they will be herding us into makeshift showers, presumably cold.
Hmmm. Given the time of the day, when many employed sorts will not have got back from work, could it be an Adolphesque plot to cull old people and the unemployed?
I was once invited to Porton Down to have some nerve agant dabbed on my arm. 9 out of 10 of us were given the placebo, we didnt know which till later.
Of course with my luck, within 10 years my hair had fallen out, my teeth were wobbly and my belly swelled up to darts player proportions. and that was with the placebo.
I was always amazed that people actually volunteered. Feck me CS was enough once a year!
