A couple of years ago, back when we were insane with fear that there were Brown People Under Our Beds, there were numerous articles on catching spies and terrorists, and during that time a word became well, not "popular," but certainly frequent, in those articles.

The word was a verb counter-espionage people use to describe what they do to a spy's surroundings when they find him. They take everything around him, and I mean everything, and run in through analysis to see if it contains codes, messages, hints, or what have you. And there was a specific word agents used for this process.

What was that damned word?
