I don't know. Have you been to the survival board? Those guys are bonkers. The last people you wanna run into in a blackout. They make light by
the flash of the muzzle of their guns. They're what you call a "spray and pray" crowd.

Hey now... I actually take offense to that. I'm nowhere near the spray and pray crowd. Of course I enjoy my 2nd amendment rights, but that comes no
where close to defining who I am.
I'm definitely not bitter, clinging to my guns and religion, lol.
But, I am an Army Veteran, Eagle Scout, Outdoors Enthusiast who loves Hunting and Fishing, and depending upon myself for my survival.
But... I digress ... I think a passcode or a salute or such would not be useful in a total blackout sitx scenario. Think if you had to say "Blue
Bunnies Jump Twice". You'd be saying that to everyone that you come into contact with, which would make you seem quite insane.
Also, an ATS logo looks suspiciously like ATF, and might be mistaken for law enforcement. That's something I would be weary of, because it could
give you unneeded attention.
It's a novel idea, I just don't see how it can work. Besides, there aren't that many ATS members in relation to normal population. Your chance of
running into them are quite low.
If you wanted to signal to other ATS members, then maybe a sort of flag that can be hoisted. It would need to look commonplace, but have several
changes or a distinct pattern only known to certain individuals. But, remember if people on this board know about it, then also some unsavory
individuals on this board know about it also.
I don't think there will be much chance of running into ATS people in sitx scenario. Most likely, these people (at least the survivalists) will be
holed up in a safe location, away from large urban environments. Its these cities which will be places of riot and crime!
