Powers of observation, some have it, some don't, but it is really an acquired skill. You have to force yourself to do it then it becomes second nature. You begin to pick up the little things that others miss. Take commercials, they are designed to pin your attention on their product. Try this the next time you watch one. Watch the body language. The up and down movement of the heads makes them look like dashboard dolls.
I was watching a flag burning and riot in one of the Arab nations and noted several people on the edge of the screen yawning and I knew it was staged. Then there are the little things. I picked up my butter knife and realized that it was slightly bent to the right from spreading butter with my right hand. Look at the people on TV. what wrist are they wearing their watch on. Usually if it is the left wrist , they are righthanded. You can tell the same thing by handing something to somebody. They will instinctively reach with their strong hand. Watch people walking. You can usually tell if they have a hip or back problem. The CIA has many trained observers. They watch the terror tapes, but what they are looking for is info. in the background to indicate the location, or people that might appear in the background.
OK lets hear some others. Frank
