English term or phrase: brush contact
A brief, public but discreet meeting of an agent and his handler or another intelligence officer, in which information, documents or funds are exchanged. There's no conversation between the two.
To the untrained observer, such a meeting (also called a brief encounter or meeting) would appear accidental, between two persons who are unknown to each other.

agree  Peter Skipp: Raynov has indeed used it, Gulyashki may have used it (finding out for sure would frankly be too painful), yet I don't know if the dreaded DS used it (finding out would be even worse than reading Gulyashki!). I'd go with this...
