...seen in the show "Burn Notice?"? My friend really loves the show Burn Notice, about an ex-spy who uses his spy skills in his "real" life. I'd love to find some book that gives fun tricks like the ones used there: for instance, super glue plus compressed air to seal a door shut, using Dust-Off upside down to freeze a padlock until it can break, showing an example of making it seem like your forces are much bigger than they are, pretending to be a confused delivery guy to get the names off a reservation list, etc. I'm not looking so much for a book about historical stories from CIA missions or anything, more a guidebook for practical spying. I did find the "International Spy Museum's Handbook of Practical Spying" but I'm not sure if it's what I'm looking for. Anyone read it? Or know of something better?

Thanks!!
