>Yeah, I like to fool heavily armed police like that - pretend I've got a gun and I'm about to shoot them. Boy, just to see the looks on their faces right before they open up, and to have the satisfaction of how silly they are going to feel examining my body and find out it wasn't a gun at all <bg>

That's foolish. But are you really saying they were moving full crates in the same situation that you describe?

Fooling the satellite imagery is quite a different game. And that can be done. Was done a lot, actually.
