Could have been another agency. Beats me.
How do I know it wasn't just some drunk guy? That's a good question. I've been thinking about it all day.
1) There were two guys working in a team, I caught them making eye contact. The senior guy was behind me.
2) The guy just suddenly leaves. Usually at a bar, folks say "Nice meeting you" or "See you later", but once I started smiling, the gig was up, and he just made a quick excuse and bailed out. No parting words or anything. He was made, and his partner told him to get out. That was very unusual. Never seen anything like it. I smiled when I realized he was baiting me, and then he's just out of there.
3) His political opinion changed three times during the conversation. First he was right wing, then he started in with Occupy stuff, then he pivoted into John Birch society nonsense. He wasn't well-read in any of it, but he kept acting in a conspiratorial manner, as if he and I were privy to the way things _really_ were.
4) There was no prelude. Usually when you meet a drunk nut, you start off with the weather, then sports, then slowly you realize there's a rant coming on. This guy just dove in.
5) He did not drink his drink, and he was not intoxicated in any way that I could tell.
I could be wrong, but I know what I saw. It was a very strange experience. Maybe it was a training op?
