Foley gave some examples, stressing that none was part of his top-secret repertoire. "You could have an indicator, where you touch a spot, and then it's not on unless you lock it in," he said.

"Well, if I give you a sign and put something on, let's say the left wrist is the lock-in," he said. "That means it is on if I touch it.
