Glossary Intelligence assessment slang / Term
Looking to identify potential sources or enemy agents, you “trail your coat” in some appropriate way, hoping to pick up some action. It can be hanging around a bar in DC where Congressional staffers drink, or putting out an article on Stratfor with a slight error, something that only someone in a key position would recognize, and hoping that he can’t resist the opportunity to “grab hold of your coat.”.
