Information will be given on a need to know basis. ( I am actually in the process of writing a book on cyber warfare)


Also lets face it, most corporations have offices around the globe and I need to know how to handle these situations if they arise because lets face it they don't teach this shit in college. 


But I have to go for now..... I think someone is coming.....

Actually, having been with a group that was detained in China for
smuggling (we had two teams, mine had no problems the other got nabbed
for being stupid), they do not always search your pockets. China wants
no problems with American's since we buy most of their stuff. They
just held looked at our passports, held the contraband and actually
gave it back when we recrossed the border back into Hong Kong. No body
search, no handcuffs.

So, from my experience it's completely plausible to find oneself in
the situation you described. Most Chinese "officers" are as computer
illiterate as American officers. They don't expect such an attack as
they are used to the typical Chinese prisoner, humbly accepting a
police beating or forced abortion without fighting back in any way.

If you were a national of China or a less liked country, you might
expect the following treatment... (not for the faint of heart)

caught reading Bibles together in a house)

Interesting situation Agent69. I'd be interested to know what inspires
your line of questioning.
