This week (11/20) on Homeland Security

a/k/a Things I learned...

Bad guys in LA are really good. When swapping out a pack of cigarettes, the exact number remaining is known when preparing the dosed cigarettes.

As confirmed by the government, smoking is bad for you.

Dialect coach? Not a typical target for assassination or a storyline for a show dealing with NCIS. Except for this one of course. 

Beale used a good title drop for Wiseguy (1987) seeing as how Joan Severance was in this episode.

You don't bring a grenade- real or fake- into an interrogation.

I need to make up an acronym for Beale that reflects how irritating he is. He will henceforth be known as ING= Irritating Nerd Guy.

ING is not a chick magnet.

If your prints are not on file, then it's as if you don't exist. That means every adult in the US w/o a criminal record or security check for employment is just an illusion.

It's easy for former Russian spies and assorted Russian gun thugs to enter the country. Trump will put a stop to that!    

PEBG still has daddy issues. Next week he'll go undercover as a male stripper.

Always challenge a guy carrying a machine pistol from a distance.

Just like the cartel gun thug a couple of weeks ago, one of the Russian gun thugs was picked off. You'd think they'd watch the show and learn from the mistakes of others.

When the kid is in Glendale, don't call the local PD to secure him until you get there. Instead send a couple of your guys to give the bad guys more time to grab him.

Food fight!

When you have a number for the gun thugs, be sure to call it first instead of letting SN trace it. SN and ING are so good that they'll get the address anyway.

PEBG could take a lesson from his dad- when wearing a suit for a formal occasion, take the time to shave. But then he'd no longer be PEBG.

PEBG's dad was a player.
