Crossed fingers in photos? edit
I have heard that the military uses crossed fingers in photos as an indicator of duress. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Have they ever done anything outside of fiction? edit
From the article to date, they look like a popular device in fiction only. If a duress code has ever actually been used and had an effect, it should be noted in the article with a reference. I'm tempted to add a section saying there has not been any known instance of a duress code in the real world having been used and had any effect. Tempshill (talk) 03:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- This ref indicates they are often used, though mostly improperly: http://www.faraonline.org/DuressResolution.pdf Also see Leo Marks' book Between Silk and Cyanide for a discussion of their use (and misuse) by the OSS during WW II.--agr (talk) 14:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
In chuck? edit
I thought I saw episode 1 of season 2 of Chuck, Chuck uses a covert distress code to alert casey using voice recognition in his watch. Can anyone confirm? Ms.henrick (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
