I find this sort of fetishism interesting. Certainly, the NSA/FSB were and to some extent still are fetishized in film and media, but it seems Mossad consistently are. Within China 国家安全部 are and I assume that it's useful to them since popular fear of national magic is a potent controlling force. Once you're confronting a nation state you face an opponent who neither considers $M zero-days nor criminal prosecution a challenge. Just hope they don't torture you before using the bone saws.
