Burn Notice Season 6 Episode 1

Michael: (voice-over) Under the right circumstances, stress can make you hyperaware, alert to every detail. It can also make you paranoid and prone to seeing what you want to see.

Michael: (voice-over) An ultra-wideband frequency scanner is one of the newer devices in the toolkit of the tactical breaching team. It's portable, requires little power, and can see through doors well enough to tell you if they're worth kicking down.

Michael: (voice-over) Clearing a structure is ideally a team effort. When you're forced to do it alone, you have to take special precautions, like using peripheral vision to check angles. But ultimately, no matter how careful you are, there's always one angle you can't see when you're alone the one behind you.

Michael: (voice-over) It's almost impossible to escape when you're being handcuffed by pros; they are trained to work in pairs when handcuffing a dangerous suspect. One cuffs the hostile, while the other covers them both. Even if you can avoid being cuffed, it only buys you a second before you get shot... but sometimes a second is all you need.

Michael: (voice-over) Hunting for a fugitive on a large area with a lot of cover is less about skills than it is about man power. It doesn't matter how good an operative you are, when it comes to a man hunt, the more people you have on your side, the better.

Michael: (voice-over) An abandoned semi-truck will create an effective barricade, but if you really want to tie up traffic, it helps to give people reason to keep their distance.

Michael: (voice-over) Keeping a large truck stable is basically keeping your speed low and your turns shallow, so the center of gravity doesn't shift further than the vehicle can handle. On the other hand, speed and sharp turns are exactly what you need... if you want the truck to jack-knife.

Michael: (voice-over) Anti-theft devices like transponder keys and transmission locks make newer trucks nearly impossible to steal. Hot wiring an older truck on the other hand is still just a matter of shortening the terminals on the starter solenoid... and of course dealing with whoever happens to own the truck.
