Stumped by a lineup? Check out this crossword solution!

As a seasoned detective solving the crossword puzzle, my mind immediately gravitated towards the phrase ‘selects out of a lineup‘ and the informal tone of the clue. I knew that it had to be a slang term, and after carefully considering my options, I had an intuition that the answer was three-letter long. After exploring different possibilities, I realized that the letters ‘I‘, ‘D‘, and ‘S‘ were strategically placed at the beginning, middle, and end of the word, respectively. Suddenly, it clicked! The answer had to be ‘IDS,’ the abbreviated colloquialism for identification of suspects. This realization was a moment of pure adrenaline, reminding me of the thrill of solving a mystery when everything falls into place.
