If you have seen the new USA series, Burn Notice on USA Network, you are probably already a fan. They usually give some pretty good tips on the show about various things like avoiding surveillance, detaining an enemy, etc. Granted, some are better and more practice than others especially for normal everyday people like ourselves.
