Now here's a creative military operation: the British set up a fake Laundromat in Belfast, where they wanted to find IRA bomb-makers. They staffed the Laundromat with locals and sent out coupons to different neighborhoods, with each neighborhoods coupon a different color. When people brought their clothes and coupons in, they got their clothes washed, but while their clothes were being washed, they were secretly being analyzed for bomb-making chemical residue.
 
I wonder if any farm workers got pegged as bomb-makers, with the traces of diesel fuel and fertilizer they're bound to have on their clothes?
 
I would imagine that any farm worker who bothered to use a laundromat in town probably deserved the once over.
