J. Edgar Hoover's 8 Ways to Spot Cars Carrying Communists

Hoover gave the American public the following tips to catch commies
while they were out for a spin in the party flivver.  He said communists
resort to:

1. Driving alternately at high and low rates of speed.

2. Entering a heavily-travelled intersection on a yellow light, hoping
to lose any follower or cause an accident.

3. Turning corners at high rates of speed and stopping abruptly.

4. Suddenly leaving a car and walking hurriedly down a one-way street in
the direction in which vehicle traffic is prohibited.

5. Entering a dark street in a residential area at night, making a sharp
U-turn, cutting into a side alley, and extinguishing the car's lights.

6. Driving in rural areas, taking a long walk in a field, then having
another car meet them.

7. Waiting until the last minute, then making a sharp left turn in front
of oncoming traffic.

8. Stopping at every filling station on the highway, walking around the
car, always looking, then going on.

--from "Citizen Hoover"
