Magic Bus

Once, when a diamond was being shipped to Britain for Queen Victoria, guards were put aboard the ship and elaborate precautions were laid. Yet that was all a ruse as the real diamond was boxed up and sent through the post office, who delivered it safely. True story.

This is kind if rhe same idea. While elaborate precautions are made for the shipping of a new weapons system that looks like an RV, the real one is . . . No, not sent through the US mail, but being driven across the country by Agency professional spy Lee Steton and his amateur sidekick, Mrs. King. Now, that's security.

Well, why not? Once, when I lived near a major freeway, one Sunday night I was up in the wee hours (pre-dawn) running when I saw about four black cars, then a covered flatbed truck, then another four black cars, driving under the speed limit equidistant from each other. At that hour they had the freeway to themselves. I'll never know what that was about but I went straight home and was gratified the FIB didn't run me in. If they read this, they still might.

This is one of the spookier "Scarecrow" episodes but it has an hilarious climax.
