Sir, you are not allowing for just how incredibly stupid the cops are. When
they show up at your house, it is all over. They've already decided that you
are scum. You'd have us believe that you lie awake stroking your gun. You
have not had the opportunity to look closely at the business end of a gun.
The hole looks enormous. Come off it grandpa. This is not a fashion show --
'black-clad' indeed. The one 'black-clad' character that comes to mind is
the _Economist_ editor found dead last year on his kitchen table wearing a
tight-fitting latex number who expired having sex with him/itself. Of course
this says nothing about the _Economist's_ readership, except most likely in
your case.

Forget the crocodile pits and the other juvenile stunts. If you have the
slightest bit of incriminating material (queer porn?) on your hard drive,
you'll roll over in no time and give your pals to the cops. These assholes
would rather shoot you than admit to a mistake. One bullet from one of them,
and they'll all execute you on the spot to cover for the idiot.
