Jim,

An interesting technique.  However, it seems to me that it should be
used highly selectively.  Targeted against the wrong person, it
seems possible it could result in injury or death.  People are
physically attacked -- even shot -- in some places just for
*looking* at someone in a way that the "lookee" doesn't appreciate.
Appearing to be obviously taking notes or repeating names from a
hothead's call might have unexpected consequences.  Man, Allen Funt
could have had a field day with this one!
