You have evidence, and you can't trust anyone, what should you do?

That's what they all say. And then the unmarked helicopters show up, and things get interesting...

Yeah, the difference is, I know the right folks to talk too.

Besides, I have the specter of the CIA or FBI showing up on my doorstep any day of the week to question me about my activities. I've always wanted to travel to certain places in the world...China, Tibet, anywhere near the Middle East, Egypt (or almost anywhere in Africa) ... out of the question. Even Turkey is a pain in the butt to try and travel to.

It's only recently (within the last 10 years) that the former Soviet Block countries were removed from the "no go" list. With all the history out there and my natural cravings to study it, I'm pretty much restricted to Euro-centric studies.

But back on topic, if they take me, oh well. I've been interrogated before, I know how far the US can go with its citizens before they cross the line and if they do, I now know this person has been subverted. It's the little things that they teach you that stick with you. And I can always keep quoting the Soldier's code over and over in my head to keep it occupied. (BTW nursery rhymes are also a good mind occupier).

First, if you're going to ask these question based on TV shows you watch, will you at least take requests? (Request: Fawlty Towers.)

I'm not familiar with that show. You're more than welcome to start your own thread. Or has it now become my domain to ask stupid questions inspired by TV shows?

This was going to be my point. Public broadcast of the evidence has the added benefit of notifying good cops who can do something, and motivating them to act.

The only problem is when leaking the information is itself a crime. This can happen in countries where free speech protections are low to non-existant, or in cases where the information is classified. In that case, you may want to leak the information from a location that's unlikely to extradite you.

Good point. I'm not familiar with embassy's but maybe taking it to one of those would help. The internet may still be a possibility.

Now, what do you do when there's a fire drill in a few minutes, but the burglar alarm goes off while trying to get the key to the fire alarm from the safe?

Sounds like a problem for another thread
Assuming the key is needed to activate the drill, the drill is of minimal importance and can be run at any time (and in fact should be randomized, not scheduled). In which case, focus on properly deactivating the alarm and answer police calls as they verify the false alarm.
