City of Spies: Difference between revisions

**The famous con-man-with-a-heart-of-gold Dusan Popov operated here in the famous "double-cross" deception operation. In so doing he not only got decorated by the British(his real employers)but [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|by the Germans.]]

* [[Washington DC]] ([[Cold War]], present)

** The opening video on the National Spy Museum tour estimates that DC has more spies per capita than any other city on the planet.

** Which causes problems when selecting areas for dead drops or covert meetings between spies and their [[The Handler|handlers]]. Because thousands of spies have been working in cities like Washington and Moscow for over half a century, there's very few 'ideal' locations that haven't been used before. In theory a security service could stake out these places permanently and have a good chance of catching a spy in the act.
