How Do You Cootie Someone?

---First and foremost, find someone you want to plant a cootie on. A wonderful target is someone with an open pocket in thier backpack, or someone with a hooded sweatshirt. Once you have found your target, you will need to be stealthy as possible. The whole idea is to not get caught. Walk up to this person and possibly strick up a conversation, stare into thier logbook and coment on some of the images you see, or just plant and run. If you do it right, they won't notice you were there and they will find it a short time later. Sometimes not until they get home.
Somethings you should stay clear of are closed backpacks. DO NOT open backpack solely for planting a cootie. This is a big no no in the letterboxing community. We all tend to trust each other, but we can easliy destroy that sense of trust by going somewhere we shouldn't be. Another place to stay clear of are people who have been lots of cooties on them. If you walk up to a bag and you look in and see a bunch of cooties, they are not paying attention or they are hording all the cooties. Sometime, Letterboxes get to talking and never realize what has happened until it is much to late to continue to pass them out again.
