LOL!
“They” have always also spied on us!
They just used to make concerted attempts to keep that information very quiet.

I gather they’ve never tried to “recruit” you.

I’ve often wondered about the caliber of people they did successfully manage to recruit.
It’s a civilian Federal government agency, so there is always going to be the ironclad 80/20 rule in play.
About 20% of them are serious about their mission, and manage to do it, in spite of 80% of their clueless and incompetent fellow cohorts and leaders.

The thing about that 20%, is always the question as to who they really work for....

Yes, but that was "retail" spying. This is "wholesale."
