TAP No. 80 - Getting In

Presented with a wink as advice for someone locked out of their own house, this article surveys a range of physical entry techniques: picking easier locks rather than harder ones, using thin blades or cards to slip a spring-latch bolt, removing exposed door hinge pins, and using a slide-hammer dent-puller to pull the core out of a pin-tumbler lock. It also covers padlock weaknesses (warded key systems that are easy to duplicate) and notes, more destructively, that interior partition walls and even cinder block can be breached with basic tools when a door is too well secured, closing with a reminder to check for pipes and wiring before cutting into a wall.

BY JOHN SHAVER
This is the first of many articles that
I plan to write for TAP about a sub-
ject that. is very dear to my heart...
DOPE. I have been reading TAP for a
while and absolutely LOVE Dr. Atomic's
Underground Drug News. Like most
“dopies", I.read all of the maga
devoted to the world of drugs and
drug related objects. Not to
undermine Dr. Atomic, but my
articles will consist
mainly of
how-to information about drug
related objects and drug smuggling.
Correct me if I
am wrong, but Dr.
Atomic writes mainly about the
how-to aspect of the chemistry-
drug field.
In my firat article, I would like
to tell you about an incident
which happened to me while I was
overseas in Europe. Anyone who
wants to get his hands on some
cheap hesh or coke should consider
making a trip to Europe. Many CHEAP
charter flights fly out of New York
an@ a major haul could more than pay
for the trip.
In Berlin, I purchased ten grams of
hash on the street for eight German
Marks per gram. For those who are
not up to date on the oxchange rate
of US dollars to Marks, the price
translated into $3.85 per gram!
But how good is the hash you
Woll, a friend and x smoked a
rolled up cigarette laced with a
small amount of hash while on the
return flight to New York and in
a matter of five minute:
knocked out, When the
fly upside down, we knew we wort
stoned off our
asses.
Incidentally,
one should smoke
in the lavatory
of the jet, not in one’s seat!
And now for the real shocking
truth...coke selle in Berlin for
the amazingly low price of $50
er gram. This coke
ood
as any here in the USA and
is
the best I have found for free-
basing. Other good deals
include heroin and an occasional
hit of LSD. All of these
harder
druga are extremely cheap and
surprizingly cheap.
k?
Yow can I smuggle the hash, etc.
into the US of A? Here are a few
euggestions I know to work very
well. First, when going through
sustoms in the US, wear 9 business
suit and a tie. The customs
officials will be less likely
to ask you to open your suit case
if you look presentable. Another
suggestion is never to make jokes
and laugh while standing in line
at customs, Those SOB's have
been known to strip 80 year old
women who joke around in line...
just make yourself as status-
quo as possible.
What if the customs officials
do decide to examine your luggage?
One way which I smuggled in some
great hash was by cutting a bar of
soap in half, hollowing it out,
and packing the dopa inside,
Then, put the
bar back together
and
use water to
seal it. Even
t dog
couldn't smell through
packing. For Larger
conceal it in any
type of regular container and put
it in a plastic garbage bag. Then
Put all of your dirty clothes on
top of it and top that with your
dirty underwear. No self
xespecting customs agent will root
through a bunch of smelly clothes
to the bottom. If you want to hide
the drugs on your person, the best
place is in your crotch. Be sure
to go to a male agent and hope thet
he don't queer if he decides to frish
you.
Pine,
I know the city and the means
of getting the drugs back, but how
the hell do I find the strect where
the drugs are located? Berlin i-
a large city and one needs a map
to find the areas I am talking about.
If you write to me here at TAP, I
will be more than happy to send
you a map with the areas marked
and even send you info on where
the cheapest airlines are located.
Roundtrip to Berlin can be as low
as $450 from New York!--SEND A SASE.
Look for my next article about the
lowest prices in the world for
@rtig related objects. I promise,
these places are cheap and are
in the USA:
