Conspiracy "everyman" skills

Here's a couple more suggestions:

Computer Operation. Not everybody needs Computer Hacking, that can be a specialist. But everyone pretty much needs to know how to at least use a computer.
In addition to Disguise, Mimicry. Mimicry is an often-overlooked, but essential, part of impersonation. Disguise might make you look like someone, but if you don't sound like them, your options are sharply limited.
I'd strongly recommend a grappling skill in the combat options - either Wrestling or Judo. If you need to subdue someone, these are your best options. Beating someone unconscious has serious consequences (barring certain cinematic options being turned on), whereas you can much more safely use grappling to pin someone.
Intelligence Analysis. This is your basic "find patterns in data" skill. Not everybody needs to have it, perhaps, but anyone who wants to contribute to that scene where the protagonists tack a bunch of photos and notes to the wall and start connecting them with string or lines or what-have-you should have it.
