| has gloss | eng: In espionage parlance, a cutout is a mutually trusted intermediary, method or channel of communication, facilitating the exchange of information between agents. By definition, a "cutout" does not know the source or destination the information being trasmitted, or the identities of any persons involved in the espionage process. Thus, a captured cutout cannot be used to identify members of an espionage cell. A classic example of a cut out which fulfills all the required characteristics is the dead drop "postbox". |
