- TeMPOraL 9y agoDid they go there in person and verify it's an actual CIA parking lot?

Plus it just looked American. But we could have misinterpreted it. And it could have just been a recruiting tool or honey pot. I get lost in forests of mirrors.

- jtbayly 9y agoI can't even imagine what the purpose of this sort of honeypot would be. What a waste of money that would be. It's so absurd an idea that I would laugh at it if I didn't know how much money was spent and wasted by the federal government. Really the only way to explain it is this sort of thing. "Let's set up a whole fake parking lot, hire people to come and go in it, get a bunch of fake license plates, buy a bunch of cars, setup a camera surveillance system and feed it out onto the internet and see if anybody finds it!" "APPROVED! I don't care how much it costs!"
- Drakim 9y agoYou could probably save on reusing the video footage of another parking lot, instead of using actors.
- squarefoot 9y ago"You could probably save on reusing the video footage of another parking lot, instead of using actors." Live or recorded video footage from somewhere else can be spotted as fake (car license plates, distant shop signs, different weather conditions, etc) and recorded footage will also eventually wrap around revealing it's recorded. It all depends on what they need to accomplish.
- drawnwren 9y agoWhy do you imagine the CIA parking lot would leak information? Keep in mind the CIA has been fighting an adversary they believe to have significantly infiltrated the US since at least the 30s. Anything that would be leaked by personnel being associated w/ the CIA is probably not done at the building with CIA on the side to begin with.
