How to throw a search dog off the scent
The fact is that a dog's sense of smell is several thousand times more sensitive than a person's. This allows it to distinguish the entire subtle range of odors left by a person.
If you are evaluating the possibility of pursuing with a search dog, it would be a good idea to take the following precautions:
1. Strong-smelling substances block the dog's sense of touch and it "loses the scent" and, at the same time, all its professional qualities for a while. Such substances include: pepper, makhorka, naphthalene, validol (heart drops), ammonia, cologne, garlic, vanilla, dimexide (sold in pharmacies), gasoline, kerosene. It is enough to sprinkle a few pinches or drops of any of these substances in the place where you are, and the dog will never "take" your scent. To be on the safe side, rub the soles of your shoes as well.
2. The second method involves using water obstacles and running water. If you come across a stream or river on your way, enter the water and walk a couple of hundred meters against the current. Such a maneuver will certainly throw the dog off the scent.
3. Use public places. The abundance of different smells can cause the dog to lose its bearings and the scent. Go to a bus stop, the subway, take public transport, go into a store, etc.
* Remember. It is much easier for a dog to pick up a scent if it sniffs a "bait" - an item that bears clear traces of its owner's scent. Therefore, do not leave gloves or other personal items at the site of the operation.
How to protect yourself from an attack by a service dog
When attacking, a dog usually lunges at the most protruding part of the body. Put your forearm forward, and the dog will definitely grab onto it. It hurts, of course, but it is better than the neck. There are relatively few large blood vessels in the forearm muscles and they are located deep. If possible, first wrap your forearm in a jacket or any other rag.
Now let's move on. Look, the dog has grabbed your hand. Do not yank it under any circumstances, trying to break free! This will only increase the degree of injury. Of course, you will still have to endure some pain. The dog may start shaking its head on its own. Try to "wave" its movements.
Then, do not hesitate! Grab the dog by the base of the ear and twist it sharply! I assure you - any dog, even the most vicious and trained, will instantly turn into a whining puppy. Dogs have pain points there. Or hit them in the eyes with splayed fingers. You will get a second's pause. Do not try to shake the animal off. Grab it by the head and, with a sharp turn, break its neck. Or quickly strangle the persistent creature, leaning on it with your whole body and squeezing its neck hard.
* Remember. Kicking a dog in the stomach is not very effective - it will easily survive these blows.
Sometimes you can see an "Ultrasonic cracker" for sale. This is a pulsed high-frequency acoustic generator the size of a sausage. It is powered by batteries. Dogs are very sensitive to ultrasound, which makes them panic. It is inaudible to humans.
You can get a can of capsaicin (a tear gas based on pepper) or a spray bottle with "technical ammonia 25%".
How to see in the dark
Buy a night vision device at the "Hunter" store. If you can't afford it, then follow the advice of military intelligence officers: when going out into the dark, eat a spoonful of sugar and irradiate your eyes with red light for 30 seconds. This makes the so-called "dark vision" more sensitive. Red light can be obtained from an ordinary flashlight by covering it with a photographic light filter. The light should not be bright, and the spectrum should be closer to the dark part of the red range. In addition, various psychostimulants increase the sensitivity of the eyes to light.
How not to sleep for two days
Not only not to sleep, but at the same time run a hundred kilometers and not feel tired or hungry. There are crisis situations when it is necessary to make such a breakthrough, with the strain of all physical and mental strength. There are certain drugs that allow you to do this:
The most powerful of them is methamphetamine (popularly known as "screw"). It can be obtained from drug addicts. It is not necessary to inject, it is enough to drink. Under the name "pervitin", this substance was used by German saboteurs during the Great Patriotic War for similar purposes.
The next drug in this series is ephedrine. However, it is difficult to get now. Ephedrine drops can be drunk, and the ampoule can be injected into a vein. Repeat the dose after 6 ... 8 hours. A more powerful derivative of ephedrine - "Jeff" is also available to drug addicts. It is prepared from ephedrine, potassium permanganate and acetic acid.
Sidnocarb and baclofen are milder stimulants and can be purchased at a pharmacy with a prescription.
Caffeine - in tablets. Sold at a pharmacy, even without a prescription. Swallow 2 tablets at a time. Repeat after 6-8 hours.
Echinacea or ginseng tincture. Also available at pharmacies. Drink about 20 ml at a time, without washing it down or eating anything.
If you don't have even that, just drink a few cups of strong coffee or green tea.
How to immobilize a victim during a kidnapping
Pour a little fluorothane (a classic anesthetic) onto a rag-glove and cover it with the target's height and nose, holding it there for 5-10 minutes. Don't believe the movie scenes where the victim passes out after just a few seconds!
The target is immobilized and injected with a mixture of the neuroleptic thioridazine (sonapax) and alcohol into a vein. This causes instant weakness, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart rate, and dilation of the pupils. This condition outwardly resembles deep shock.
A blow to the head from behind with a rubber truncheon or a sock with sand. Loss of consciousness for several minutes and a concussion are guaranteed!
Using electric shock. A powerful pulse discharge with a voltage of at least 50 kV to the head, neck, and heart for 5–7 seconds causes loss of consciousness for 10–20 minutes.
Compression of the carotid arteries with hands or a leather belt.
* Careful! Do not strangle completely or break the larynx or spine!
How to make someone forget
In passing, without concentrating your main attention, you ask the subject about the information you are interested in. Then tell a funny joke, completely concentrating the interlocutor's attention on it. A more emotionally powerful stimulus displaces a weaker one. The subject usually does not remember what he was asked about before.
"Beacons"
These are peculiar indicators that strangers have entered the premises. Use them if you want to be sure that no one has entered your apartment in your absence. Otherwise, you will immediately see traces of penetration.
When leaving, insert a match or a needle between the door frame and the door. While the door is closed, the "beacon" maintains its position. If strangers came in, you will find it fallen on the floor. You can glue a hair (or a piece of thin thread) with one end to the door frame, the other to the door. Glue with cognac, beer, liqueur. Such an indicator is almost invisible, but examining it with a magnifying glass will immediately tell you whether the door was opened. Professionals know about this.
Apply a tiny drop of milk or onion juice to the light bulb in the chandelier using a sharp match. If, upon returning, you find that the drop has noticeably darkened, it means that someone turned on the light without you. Shake out a couple of specks of tobacco dust onto a lying notebook. If you don't find them there when you return, then someone accidentally shook them off while reading your memoirs.
How to protect yourself from wiretapping
If you suspect that your house is stuffed with bugs, you can use a special detector to look for them. Unfortunately, such devices are quite expensive.
If you have a conversation in the bathroom with the water running, you are unlikely to be heard.
If you suspect that you and your interlocutor are being eavesdropped on, do not speak out loud, but write your dialogue on a piece of paper.
To detect a laser scanner, simply go to the window, light a cigarette and blow a stream of smoke several times towards the glass. The laser beam is clearly visible in a cloud of smoke. Neutralizing a laser scanner is even easier: close the curtains, and the acoustic vibrations will not reach the glass.
When talking to your interlocutor in a crowded place, always pay attention to who is trying to sit down or come closer to you.
To protect yourself from lip reading, cover your mouth with your hand while speaking.
How to Change Your Voice
When talking on the phone, wrap the microphone with a handkerchief, and your voice will be hard to recognize. Or take a match in your teeth. Or record your monologue on a cassette, and then play it into the microphone from a player in slow (fast) mode. Or put the neck of a can to the microphone. Or put several pieces of chewing gum in your mouth, roll them into a ball and hold them under your tongue while talking. Or put a clothespin on your nose.
Hi-Tech. Another option for changing your voice is to use a microphone, computer, speaker system and appropriate software. The recorded monologue can then be recorded on a cassette. For example, one of the best amateur programs is considered to be AV Voice Changer.
Unfortunately, counterintelligence and law enforcement agencies have fairly modern voice analyzers and if your voice is recorded on tape, it will not be difficult to calculate its natural timbre and rhythm, it is a matter of time.
How to throw off a chase
Let's say you're fleeing at night in a car and you're being pursued. Attach a powerful camera flash to the rear window of your car in advance, but in such a way that it's not conspicuous. And put the control button on the dashboard. Accelerate to maximum speed and drive to an emergency-dangerous section of the road, where you'll turn on your "bunny". Your pursuers, who are naturally staring at your rear end, will be blinded and will most likely fly off the road. Such a device can also be attached to a motorcycle, disguised as a taillight.
