The Weakest Linc
Imagine that you’re an escaped convicted running away with your brother who was incarcerated for supposedly killing the US president’s brother. You are being hunted down by the Secret Service, NSA, FBI and the local police blood-hounded by the media machine. You’ve gone to prison to save your brother from Death row and manage to break him out, you record a video later on showing your faces from every angle to deliver a secret message to your girlfriend. This video is naturally played all day on every channel and in the internet – so we can think pretty much everybody in the Western civilization knows what you look like.
In order to clear your brother’s reputation and get him a pardon, you need to go running around the country in the big cities to find new allies and finding secret Echelon messages that prove the President guilty of banging his brother (or the other way around). Now, if everybody knows who you are and what you look like – would you walk around town in your normal clothing and wearing no makeup and camouflage? I mean you’ve had time to set up a massive scheme of exploding cars, empty warehouses, fake passports, accounts, mafia connections and cover your entire body with tattoos consisting of a blueprint of a prison you’ve engineered AND been able to turn it into symbolic metaphors. This would suggest that you’ve been able to figure out most loose ends, as proven by your escape with NINE people out of a maximum security penitentiary.
How much does a make up kit with fake beards, wigs and that kind of stuff cost? Even a pair of sunglasses? Anything?
