Why bother whether John puts the money in a "brown paper bag" or in a black plastic bag or in a brown cloth bag? According to the note, John was to be "scanned for electronic devices" anyway, so he had to hand over the bag personally to a member of the SFF stepping out of the bushes with his electronic scanning device in hand. You can't make sense out of nonsense, Holdon.Wow, I'm not sure where you're coming from with this.
The RN is very specific on what JR was supposed to be doing that morning. You can probably recite everything JR was expected to do according to the RN. The RN was very thorough on the sequence of events, and was very clear on practically every point.
I suppose Patsy eyes fell on a brown grocery bag in the kitchen as she was writing the note ...
Or take the priceless advice "Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank". Lol, the SFF must have thought John Ramsey was an imbecile who might have tried to stuff the money into the pockets of his trousers, so he had to be especially advised to bring a suitable receptacle for the money.
