TED/William Black: How to rob a bank (from the inside, that is)

Many movies depict stories of people robbing the banks, some got caught and had to live the rest of their lives in jail, while few others barely escape through well planned schemes or intelligence. However, this may seem tempting, to gain a lot of money simply by taking some hostages and making empty threats, the risks are also extremely high, one slip of the feet can make your future dark and put you behind bars. Today's TED topic won't be so serious and strict, it's here mainly to discuss the possibilities and what people think of the task "robbing the bank", and eventually, how will the audiences do it?

Of course, we won't want it to be really accomplished and put into use, for all the money inside the bank belonged to the civilians, and their hard work through the years, no one would want their money taken away by some kind of robbers, and start to live in misery. William here is trying to imagine a scene: how will people really do it, if you want to rob a bank? Few chose to attack from the outside, or just simply by going into the bank holding a gun, and yelling for the others to put their hands up and then, encounter the classic scene in most bank movies: holding it against the police and asking the police to send what they want in exchange of hostages. However, these awkward moments are better avoided, if you are robbing the bank, hypothetically.

The choice of most people is to do the bank rob from the inside, maybe to start as one of the employees of your target bank, and make your move once you're really familiar with the routine inside the bank, the people, other clerks and mostly, the alarm system: how it's sounded, how much time will you have before the police reinforce arrives...etc. And if you're even so lazy as to become one of the employees, you can bribe someone inside, or to drag them into the whole action, so it won't be a risk that they go big mouthing on the plan to everybody they meet. Of course, everything discussed above, and on the TED show is only for amusement, and real robbery of banks should be damned.
