Lol oops...

"We're also in The Mists of the most profound transformation of espionage tradecraft since the cold war. In an era of smart cities and ubiquitous technical surveillance, spying is a formidable challenge. For a CIA officer working overseas in a hostile country, meeting sources who are risking their own safety to provide us information, constant surveillance is a very risky business. But the same technology that sometimes works against us - whether it's mining big data to expose patterns in our activities or massive camera Networks - can also be made to work for us, and against our rivals."

Yeah I had the same idea with China.

Not to mention that smart cities and constant surveillance definitely puts a damper on things, unless you are technologically savvy enough to manipulate feeds, jam signals, and all the other stuff that I know "you're" capable of doing.

There are simple tricks to not be recognized by an f r s. Assets might want to leave their phone at home or with somebody else. Changing your appearance doesn't have to be as complicated as wearing a mask, but that still works.

In most systems, there's always a blind spot.

Some Communications are best in person, best practices would be making up your own cipher and ensuring that you and your asset know the key by heart, and never stray from the code.

Sending a message should be as easy as scribbling a couple numbers on a random wall, moving a plant, writing down a grocery list and dropping the piece of paper accidentally on the street, actually going out and buying certain items.... I mean the list goes on...

There is almost infinite possibilities. The more creative you are, the more successful you can be.

"our adversaries are moving fast to exploit open source information, and we have to do it faster and better than they do"

True

You know what else helps?

Feeding them false information and utilizing the magic of misdirection.

** It's a shame everything is so expensive.... If it wasn't, then the military and CIA could use little bug drones to administer medication... Or anti poison.

But that's too James Bond for people anyway.

Still...

Scenario:

There's an agent that has to do a risky mission, we're not sure that the timeframe projected will be accurate. There's a possibility that they may be captured. We assume there's a chance they may be injected with something. So we had them leave a window open and if they send a certain signal, we know to send in the dragonfly drone that is packing 3CCs of antidote to the poison of choice of our target.

They are to fake being ill while we initiate an extraction plan.

Might have to send in another dragonfly to slow their heart rate for when they play dead.

--> I'm sure it's too James Bond 😂

Kabul --

I suppose it's already bad enough that the CIA takes the blame for creating Isis, and after recent events people are going to wonder if Isis k was created to undermine the Taliban as well as the collect information on other Isis groups.

People already assume that the US military along with intelligence agencies allowed 13 soldiers to die in Afghanistan during the withdrawal in an explosion that was entirely foreseeable.

After hearing testimonies one might draw the conclusion that there was no order to take out the suicide bomber because it needed to happen, in the eyes of the "government".

This is an issue that people are going to have to deal with.

They're not dealing with it well

Oh hey

Probably a fail

Maybe I should update the list

I had nothing for a callback other than this example
