Some people have a knack but we cna usually figure out at least part of their implicit calculus. I've got to believe that pattern recognition will be key. These experts are learning how to think like the makers/planters of these... what's interesting is that this is not a static task, how they make & hide IEDs is constantly evolving. Learning to think *ahead* (or at least keep up in the game) would have implications far beyond this (albeit important) situation. Thanks for sharing, Eric!
