Tops Security: Fill & Download for Free

The standard method of execution of a convicted prisoner was to lead him out of the cell, moving in the “swallow” position, as was the usual order of movement (and still is in high-security Russian prisons today):A convoy in a Russian top security prison.The convict would normally think he was just being taken to interrogation or relocated.Then the executioner would come up from behind with a pistol and shoot one bullet at the base of the skull, instantly killing the convict.So yeah, the convict was at that time clothed and wearing whatever shoes he had been wearing before being led out of the cell.There might have been other execution methods, but this was the standard one.

One of my roommates from freshman year graduated with a perfect A average from Princeton. However, he focused entirely on his academic work and during freshman year we had to physically drag him from his room to take a shower and take a break to go to a movie or something once every few weeks. It wasn’t that he was intentionally antisocial; it was simply that he would get so lost in his work that he would lose track of time and day. I remember in the second semester of engineering physics, he hadn’t had time to do one of the chapters, so to answer some of the questions, he simply derived the necessary equations from previous principles before solving the problem.Funny thing, though. After graduating at the absolute top of his class, we never saw or heard from him again — the rumor was that he had been recruited by one of the defense think tanks and spent his entire career protecting the United States by doing top-security physics and mathematics.To my knowledge, very few people in the past 50 years have ever matched his perfect grade average.

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.In the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Wall Street Journal ran a post about the security condition in India. In that post, there was a quote from a top security consultant who was consulting American tourists heading to India. I will just try to paraphrase his quote from my memory.You should be worried about traveling to India. You should especially be worried about driving to the airport - the riskiest part of the trip.You are many times more likely to die of a road accident in the US than be victim of a terrorist attack in India. The riskiest part of your trip lies in the road between your home and your airport. If you don't fear that, the rest of the trip has far less odds of hurting you.That said, follow the basic safety guidelines [avoid traveling alone in unfamiliar surroundings, avoid walking in the dark, don't get into a stranger's vehicle, don't eat what a stranger offers, don't advertise your plans in the public, don't flaunt expensive things]Look at this chart. This is where ISIS recruits and operates. Do you see India there? Do you worry about going to these countries? There are more ISIS fighters from Scandinavia, Western Europe and the United States than India.PS: There is no ISIS operation in India. And Syria is far more closer to UK, France and rest of Europe than India. The distance between Agra and Syria where ISIS operates is more than the distance between Boston and Honduras. If you don't usually worry about the drug cartels of Central America while in the US, you don't have to worry about ISIS while enjoying the Taj.
