Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
HI Michelle - neat new topic. But it requires thinking - something that it is tough for me to do at this early hour....but I'll give it a try.
If I went undercover, I would want only to take Richard Dean Anderson with me...he would take care of the rest. Sorry, couldn't resist.
No, really, I would take:

No, really, I would take:
- A computer (agree with you) with hack-proof insides with the most sophisticated software and hardware available
A raincoat (don't all spies have raincoats?)
A passport and some visas - in my made-up name of course (since I would be going to many different locations as a spy in this small-world era).
A blonde wig since a mustache would look really foolish on me...

Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
Ha, great topic! I'll have to think about it, though. I was a complete spy fiction junkie, all the way back to Man from UNCLE (a big part of my initial love for MacGyver), so I immediately start asking questions such as "Where will I be undercover? What's my cover identity? Why am I there? How long will I be undercover? How likely am I to be followed/detained/questioned/have my room searched?"
So, hmmm. It's hard for me to think of sufficiently general items . . .
1. really good walking shoes
2. an extra passport
3. lots and lots of local money in a wide variety of denominations
4. a solid location for a dead drop, where I can stash the extra passport and the money
(If you aren't into spy parlance: a dead drop is a secure place where you can leave and retrieve items safely. It's called a 'dead drop' because a 'live drop' means handing things off to another person, and a dead drop does not.)

Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
I'm not a studied spy so I'm still learning
Therefore I take
1. Swiss army knife
2. Laptop (with DVD-Player inside)
3. Collection of MacGyver-DVD's so I can get a hint when I need it
And enough small money to call 555-4876

Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
Interesting question, I had to think about it
1. Swiss Army Knife (I always have one with me ALWAYS)
2. Laptop (I'd probably need information and if I was a spy, I'd most likely have to communicate with my boss, or maybe informants )
3. An inconspicuous car... something that won't attract attention.
4. A good pair of binoculars
I'd take more then just those things... but I could only list 4

Bear in mind: you can't take it on a plane, unless you put it in the checked baggage.Mac/Jack#1fan wrote: 1. Swiss Army Knife (I always have one with me ALWAYS)
My SAK is one of the ones with a flashlight and a thumb drive. The thumb drive is removable -- so I can put the knife in my checked bag and keep the drive with me on the plane.

Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
True, true. But, I have to say, that I have never in my life been on a plane lol. Never flown anywhere, everywhere I've ever been is by car or boat So I was just figuring if I was a spy, I'd either take the car or boat route.MacBeth wrote:Bear in mind: you can't take it on a plane, unless you put it in the checked baggage.
Or better yet, if I was a spy, I'd have my own personal helicopter!!! Then I could bring my SAK
Re: If you were a spy and had to go undercover...
I'm totally going to geek out here. The four things I would bring with me..
1. Daniel Jackson for his linguistic skills
2. Sam Carter for her brains
3. Teal'c for his brawn
4. Jack O'neill for no particular reason
