Having code words is good opsec. We had one as kids decades ago in case a stranger tried to pick us up.

"Your mommy is in the hospital and she sent me to get you."

"What's the code word?" No code word, find someone in a uniform or with a name tag.

This is kinda like the whole "What would you do to prepare for a zombie apocalypse?" The answer is the same for a lot of emergency and disaster prep but more fun.

With AI that can replicate your voice or any voice this is a good plan .

It's more prevalent in Latin America right now, but with the ease of being able to clone the voice of someone that posts on social media, virtual kidnappings are a thing that aren't going away. So the codeword is actually very relevant today.

Mine was mentioning a problem with a car they don't have as code for help.

This wouldn’t work with me.

"Would you help me change the alternator on my Moskvitch?" "Why the fuck and when the fuck did you buy a Moskvitch?"
