When you catch a spy / enemy operative / "naval attache" on
your soil, it should be expected that he/she can be delivered
back to his/her home country embarrassed but unharmed.
UBSSS (UB Secret Service Service) will, for a small fee, catch
your suspected spy, wrap it tightly in tinfoil to prevent
the
escape of any unwanted radiation and deliver it back to its
owner, as you would any gift of high end chocolate truffles or
last night's leftover duck meat.
When we say we'll foil foreign spies, we mean it.

I figured the foil may prevent the accidental
irradiation of handlers, of the "foreign diplomat"
happens to be carrying polonium, for instance. |
|
| |
I've found that the best way to deal with fifth-columnists
of any kind is to run into them with motorcycles. |
|
| |
Does that also work with power and telegraph poles,
[Alter]? |
|
| |
Not that I'm suggesting the Poles would have spies
operating in your country, mind you. |
|
| |
I haven't tested my method on telephone poles. I admit this
was an oversight, but frankly we at the Heathen Institute
for Inadvisably Applied Science & Penguin Aerodynamics
perceive
no chance of treason or espionage being carried out by
large pieces of creosote-saturated wood. |

Unless of course it's one of a pair, placed outside a faculty window, quantum-entangled, with the other one hooked up to an acoustic rig to catch every word. |
|
| |
I propose we form a roster and each person goes around their chosen telegraph pole playing bagpipes to confuse the listeners. |
|
| |
If there is foil wrapping around a pole there will be Reynold's number involved somehow. |
|
| |
A second offender might be heard to say, "Curses! Foiled again!" |
|
| |
What about gravity waves? |

This is a terrible idea. If we cover foreign spies with foil
how are we going to read their minds? Nice one UB. |
|
| |
Oh, you'd leave their heads sticking out, otherwise
you'd be forever referring to the diagram inside the
lid of the box, trying to identify what's inside each
foil wrapper. |
