* When you need to locate a foreign spy office, it's all about the food. Spies like home cooking just like everyone else.

If some of those orders head to an office with tight security and scowling workers with short haircuts, you're in business.

Burn Notice Season 03 Episode 05 "Signals and Codes" was first aired last July 9, 2009 and below are the spy tips and tactics:

* Nobody wants to hear from a burned spy. Your old handlers send your calls straight to voice mail. Your appeals are filed in the trash. Your old contacts are worthless. Your best bet is to find an active field operative who can't hang up on you. If you're on domestic soil, the airport's not a bad place to look. Intelligence agencies are like amateur magicians. Watch closely, and you can see how they set up their tricks. It doesn't matter how good they are at misdirection and sleight of hand. They can't make a covert ops supply plane disappear.

Burn Notice - The name of the Game

Burn Notice refers to the burn notices issued by intelligence agencies to discredit or announce the dismissal of agents or sources who are considered to have become unreliable. When spies are burned, their connection to an espionage organization is terminated, leaving them without access to cash or influence. The burned spy therefore, has no prior work history, no money, no support network – in essence, no identity.
