Black Friday 2013. The biggest shopping day of the calendar year.

Americans from all over the country coming off a recession and finally with some spending money in the pockets

are flocking to retail stores like Target for holiday deals and Christmas shopping. Parents, children, grandparents, teenagers buying toys,

clothes, supplies, electronics, home decor, and games. Meanwhile, lurking in the background, a danger that no one could foresee, but everyone would soon feel.

At each of targets nearly 2,000 store locations, customers push their shopping carts down the store aisles, pick out what they want,

then approach cashier's desk, swipe their credit cards and head home.

Really if you want to rob Bank in 2018 the best way to do it is probably to go in as a hacker. But have you ever seen any of those movies I'm talking about?

Usually there's about small team of Quirkley-milling criminals trying to pull off the mother of all

haste. You've got a sniper planted on the roof of a building across the street

from the bank. The resident hacker sits in a van nearby relaying information to the team.

A couple of other guys are armed and ready to blow everything up should the plan

go sideways.

And then one guy dresses up as a janitor. Why? Because on the

cover he walks right in through the front door. Earlier in the movie they'd probably

figure out which cleaning company works in the building, found

an employee of that company and robbed him of his uniform and badge.

Now our guy is walking past front-desk security without raising any alarms.
