If Mr. Jackal in the 1960s came to this day

1. As a hidden professional killer, it is extremely difficult to forge identity documents. Only national intelligence agencies have the ability to forge unhindered "false real passports" for their operatives-for example, in 2010, Israeli agents entered Dubai with "legal" passports to assassinate senior Hamas officials.

2. Stealing other people's passports was based on Our own methods are not reliable. In the case of the Internet, the stolen passport will be reported as lost or invalidated within a short period of time.

3. Putting the modified rifle directly in the suitcase to pass through customs is a dead end.
Mr. Jackal passed through customs with a gun and was really lucky.
The European customs inspections were really useless. It was not until the frequent occurrence of hijackings in the 1970s that X-ray machines began to be widely used.

4. Mr. Jackal followed the Danish pastor from the airport all the way to the hotel, and then used a self-made tool to slip the door and pick the passport away. If today, the surveillance video in the lobby and corridors of the hotel would take him the first time; the electronic lock of the room card can not be dealt with by the hand-held lock picking tool.

5. In the square, 130 meters to kill the boss of a big country at close range, it's not reliable at all.
I vaguely remember that when the bosses went on a patrol, all windows were closed, and each building was guarded by someone. Sniper killing, unless it is an ultra-long-range rifle like the m200, there is almost no possibility of success.

Conclusion: With Mr. Jackal’s methods in the 1960s, I am afraid it will be very tragic today.

The Day of the Jackal quotes

  • Caron: [on phone] Yes, Washington, I know it's seven o'clock there, it's midnight here!

  • [Caron calls London, Assistant Commisioner Mallinson at 3:58 in the morning]

    Mallinson: I don't wish to sound rude, Inspector, but wouldn't it be better if this sort of routine inquiry could be conducted through the proper channels, preferably when we're all awake?

    Caron: Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Mallinson, but it is very urgent. Commissioner Lebel didn't wish to make a formal request; he was rather hoping that you'd cooperate with us unofficially.

    Mallinson: All right, I'll take the Commissioner's call at... 08:30, you say? Fine. Good night.

    [hangs up]

    Mallinson: What's left of it...

    Mallinson's Wife: Who was that, dear?

    Mallinson: The Old Boy Network.
