The pigs really wish I was dead for publishing this kind of material. Well, I was a cop for several years and during that time I signed up for all kinds of bomb training, hostage training, etc. You name the class or school and I was in it. What scared the instructors so badly was my creativity and my ability counter the techniques and methods they had put so much work into with extremely simple countermeasures.

For instance, if you want to defeat a SWAT team, rig a bunch of fish hooks on steel wire all over the house. This trips them up and in many cases binds their arms up. Take my word for it, they don't see this kind of thing comming and are not in any way prepared for it.

Or take the magnetron out of a microwave oven and point it down a hallway (dear god do they fear hallways). This will cook the bastards. Even a one second blast will do extensive damage to their eyes and brains--goggles will not protect their eyes unless they are solid steel. It could also detonate the primers on all of their bullets and the poor fuckers won't have a clue what is happening.

But back to my hostage taking shotgun rig. What the terrorist needs to do is to duct tape a noose on the end of the barrel on his shotgun. This is slipped over the hostages head and around his neck. This places the end of the barrel right agaist his neck. If the terrorst pulls the trigger it would instantly decapitate the hostage.

Now the second part of this rig is to run a flexible wire from the trigger on the shotgun to a loop around the terrorists wrist. The gap must be short. This way if a police sniper were to shoot the terrorist, the action of his falling to the ground would pull the wire which would pull the trigger on the shogun and kill the hostage. Simply put, the terrorist has gott'em by the balls and they cannot shoot him.

A smart terrorist woud put ear plugs in his ears before the whole thing began. Yu can't believe what a difference this can make. None of the cops psychological tactics can be employed.

The terrorist could parade the hostage right down main street if he wanted. But he should have a destination, such as an armored car waiting for him. The Armored car is the perfect get away car. Sure they can shoot the tires out, but if the terrorist has soeone important inside like the mayor of a city they will be very carefull what they do.

The terrorist could have the whole armored car rigged with high explosives and should tell the authorities he won't hesitate to use them.

For the perfect get-away I have devised the following plan. The terrorist has rigged a trap door in the bottom of the floor board. He drives the armored car over to a predestined manhole in the street and waits for nightfall. In the dead of night he opens the floorboard and removes the manhole cover in the street. The timer on the explosives is armed and the hostage is firmly restrained with chains to the wall of the car.

The terrorist slips down into the manhole to an ATV he had waiting for him. He makes his get away down the underground tunnel with the aid of powerful lights on the ATV. The terrorist has spent many weeks planning the job and has marked the tunnel with florescent markers as to show him where to reemerge to a waiting car on the surface.

Should the cops be stupid enough to try and chase him down the tunnel he throws timed explosive charges behind him and collapses the tunnel to the rear.

The explosives in the armored car explode and kill the hostage. If the cops didn't see the terrorist escape they may think he was killed in the explosion.

Have I thought of everythig? I hope so.

This scenario could be used for everything from bank robbery to hostage taking to you-name-it.
