Sure it is a little overkill to have both a Colt M4 and a MP5SD, but
they are the kind of gear one cannot aford tonot have when the time
come's for the use of them:-)

Well it could be done only with the Colt M4 - if it is equipt with asilencer
and AGOC sight.

Standard pistol is alway a good thing. So that every one can use the
same magazines and every one knows how it works.

That would be a usefuld gear to have.

What about a laptop computer? 
I don't know not every one knows how to handel a computer - like one of
the danish Jager soldater (special force) said: "I don't know anyhting
about computers, playstations and the like. But I can blow up a brige."

 Maybe a bug detector/pink noise generator (do those things  really work)?
Bug detector would also be usefuld.
Noise generator, if it would on radio frevensis, then it could be funny
when the operators cannot get a cell phone call:-)

 SecureID card?
Offcourse.

 Digital camera?
I think a normal camera would be better.

Thanks for your input.
