I was recently reading a Reddit thread on “mind hacks” and other fun little tricks you can play using psychological tips and social engineering, and one user said that if you dress like a security guard, you can do pretty much anything you want and no one will question it. I was skeptical at first, until I saw this clip from Australian television series The Chaser’s War on Everything, in which a bunch of guys disguised themselves as a motorcade and managed to infiltrate an APEC gathering so that Osama Bin Laden could join in the talks. It’s a bit terrifying how much they get away with – in fact, they had to TURN THEMSELVES IN before anyone realized that the group were imposters.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to purchase a security guard uniform.
