It was about a mile and a half from my house. At VT15 and VT289 (some century to be renamed I289 after the NIMBYs lose their last suit). >back when it was "Inn at Essex", when it was apparently one of NECI's >"test kitchens", ;-) I didn't know they'd changed the name. It was still "The Inn at Essex" when I moved two years ago. A friend's father used to run the hotel.

If you work for the CIA as an analyst, you don't need cover, so it is likely someone would say they work for the CIA rather than make up some BS. I was at a CIA reunion in Vegas not too long ago and the CIA set up their gift shop in the lobby where the event was held. I got a nice CIA polo-type shirt with their badge, but wondered just where the hell do THEY wear these shirts.

But what if you work for the CIA as a chef? When I worked in Poughkeepsie IBM, occasionally I'd have to do some work in the manufacturing area. The two sites (P'ok and Kingston) both had mainframe test area where hundreds of mainframes were set up for final test, each with a placard over them with the customer's name. Many had "US Department of Agriculture" - too many to count cows. I was told that USDA was the cover for any classified government agency. Later, in VT, a friend worked for INS. His pay checks came from the USDA. The USDA is a cover for all sorts of stuff too. >I was at a CIA reunion in Vegas not too long ago and the CIA set up >their gift shop in the lobby where the event was held. I got a nice >CIA polo-type shirt with their badge, but wondered just where the hell >do THEY wear these shirts. The polo field? The CIA operates a spy museum in D.C. Next time we're there I'll have to check it out. |
