Good tradecraft - wear something conspicuous that you discard later.

How do you not spray yourself, too?

I’ve read several versions of this incident. Some say a “poison spray” was used; others say “poison needle”. Is this a result of translation? Anybody know which is correct?
ETA: oops…missed that in the story here, but my questions still stand: translation error; which version is correct.

Aum Shinrikyo did it successfully with VX gas. (from Wikipedia) “The VX victim, whom Shoko Asahara had suspected was a spy, was attacked at 7 a.m. on 12 December 1994, on the street in Osaka by Tomomitsu Niimi and another Aum member, who sprinkled the nerve agent on his neck. He chased them for about 100 yards (90 metres) before collapsing, dying 10 days later without coming out of a deep coma.”
I don’t know much about that attack, or what precautions they used to keep it off their own skin, but in the sarin attacks on the subways in 1995, the guys poking holes in the sarin bags had been given some antidote (nerve-blocking agent?) to minimize the effects of the nerve gas.

But then one of the women was recognized and arrested a few days later trying to leave the country by the same airport. There are plenty of easier ways to get out of Malaysia. Some people casually drive boats to and from Sumatra without passports.
edit: looks like the Malaysian police have arrested both women now.
