Sneaky Spycraft - Week 4, Period 4
Aly was flipping a lock in her hand as she waited for the class to arrive. Not that they were doing anything with locks today. It was just that she'd normally be flipping a knife to pass the time and, well, no knives on school property.
Once everyone was settled and the bell rang, Aly surveyed her students with a grin.
"So, last week we talked about picking locks, and quite of few of you are already quite good at that which definitely warms the cockles of my heart. This week we're talking about what happens before you make it to the lock picking - and quite a few times after too," she said. "This would be, of course, avoiding the ways people use to track those who might be breaking into their houses or things."
"Some of you have Criminal Justice, I'm sure, so you're very familiar with the idea of dusting for fingerprints. Others of you have, you know, watched a police drama so it shouldn't be a surprise. Fingerprints, stray hairs, motion detectors, dogs - all of these things can be used to catch a spy who's trying to stay far undercover."
Aly raised an eyebrow at the class. "Okay, who has other techniques people use to protect their things and information. We're not talking traps so much this time, just other ways to keep people - spies, thieves, you name it - from getting into their belongings. Anyone come from a world where magic is used? Special types of locks? Air-tight vaults?"
Once the students had offered their answers, Aly nodded. "Sounds good. Now, if you would, pair up and figure out ways to beat some of these things. Without alerting the whole neighbourhood that you're around. So think silent, think sneaky, and think like you only have so long to complete your mission." She grinned. "Any questions?"
[OOC: Yes, there be OCD be up!]
