LOL! That was purty good and mostly true. Well, I was thinking from the standpoint of 1) They are going somewhere, maybe not you 2) breaking law(s) 3) someone has to intervene, eventually. You could apply the above to any crime really. And they essentially told you they are going to commit it...sort of like our recent plane story. I don't think it's a question of intelligence. It's more a question of risk and whether or not it fits your profile. If not, turn your head the other way and cough. :) tv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Pasker" <info@n-connect.net> To: <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 5:57 PM Subject: Re: just...wow.
Would it be possible to string along and coordinate with the appropriate law enforcement entity?

Probably, but the fourth basic law of human stupidity (google it, and have a laugh) promisees that I would suffer for doing so. It's why I've never ever attempted to deal with any of these types of requests beyond just figuring out what the game is. Once you know the game, any intelligent person quickly concludes that the only way to win at that game is to not play.
