That said, I wanted to get a handle on what the deal with this bumping thing was, since Alex seems to give the term a very broad definition. Seems like it could be anything, really. I went to the Infowars article about this, and they say, quote, in spy speak, bumping is when a reason is manufactured to meet with the target of interest in order to develop a relationship that could lead to intelligence, the New York Post reported. Right, right, right. So it's like an on-purpose meet-cute, if you will. Yes, but one person isn't aware, and it's a setup.
