how to be a secret agent or a spy
Stuff you need: A newspaper for disguise or magazine Clothes that blend in but not black it looks too suspicious Flashlight Gadgets (cameras, secret microphones ,tools ,ect) A plan Maps of the area Notes of any shortcuts, helpful elements, etc. Gloves for when touching things Mission log (a notebook to write down anything suspicious) A base (such as a tree fort, place in the woods, or school playground when nobody is around. It could even be your bedroom!) Communication device (such as cell phone, walkie-talkie, messengers, phones etc). Friends to help you get around and use for back up. Tweezers for getting clues in tight spots. Containers (ex: sandwich bags) for storing clues without contamination A secret code to write to each other A code name A back up plan A camera to take pictures of clues Tiny secret cameras to set up in a small place so if you're not there, you can still tape record it, then watch it. Some normal clothes (walking around in sunglasses, a spy jacket, and a hat are bound to be noticed, and people will be suspicious). A book, newspaper, i Pod etc… (something that you can use so you don't look suspicious.) A disguise kit (change your look so enemies don't recognize you) (optional) some sort of makeup to put on a wall whenever there is danger. A target Locks to keep people out of top secret stuff. A bag or backpack to store this stuff in. Don’t use a mirror
Steps
1.Assess the situation you will be placing yourself into: if you are spying with an organization, they will likely do some preparation for you, but you should consider whether the organization is entirely trustworthy or not. Virtually no organizations that operate spies, big or small, are trustworthy from the point of view of a spy. In your assessment, you should consider the following ideas
2.Learn to read lips if the subject is far away. If you do this you might want to have a pair of binoculars handy. (you can do this by watching a DVD on mute with the subtitles on to get used to the mouth shapes. Then turn the subtitles off and see if you can interpret what the characters are saying)
3.Know the people you're spying on
4.Learn to read and write in multiple languages and styles of communication; learn to understand body language. - This is the most central characteristic of a spy or a diplomat, typically these are the same thing
5.Get the hardware and software of the pros. Spy and Surveillance gadgets can be essential to the job
6.Blend in. If you want to spy, you should blend in with crowds and communities. Seem like you belong. If you're spying on a location, have a good reason to be there. Wear common clothing for the location, which is not easily identifiable. consider the behavior of others around you: you want to be purposeful where they are, not where they're not. Avoid attracting attention. Being a legitimate employee can significantly help, for example
7.Gather intelligence; it's good to have satellite maps of the area. Take the weeks before your official "mission" to casually scout the area, learn the common routes, and get people used to seeing you. (This is where your good reason to be around comes in handy, and this will help you blend in further.)
8.Learn the habits of anyone you're spying upon. Don't be nervous or react if they see you. Don't let them notice that you are looking at them or following them
9.Alter your daily routine each day as so any person following you cannot pick it up
10.It's good to have more than one spy to observe the area and watch your back. Teamwork is crucial to all spies
11.Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Learn to think on your feet and be resourceful (preferably whilst looking a bit dumb). Try to practice new, useful ways to use items you carry with you, or replace them with other ones that cover a broader range of useful functionality
12.Include in your team a team captain, security guard, some one that does the spying and a backup person
13.Train yourself and your team
14.Always have a bag with essentials packed up around so in case of emergency is ready to take. Include a type of survival kit, all weather clothing, form of communication, for example, a phone,a note pad to write down any info you and your team find and a source of entertainment - maybe some cards
