If she is publicly explaining CIA uses these tricks, these are no longer current CIA tricks.
-
3:38 "You want to be the person that gets on the elevator, and then gets off, and no one really remembers you were there." I don't even need a disguise to do that
-
The scary part about this is that this whole time that she had been being interviewed is that she could be in a disguise and be whole different person then we know.
-
I need a full length documentary with her. She’s absolutely fascinating.
-
Plot twist: they're using disguise in this interview, so basically we never see a real face of a CIA former
-
They missed the perfect opportunity to reveal at the end that she isn't actually an old lady, and she's actually a 35 year old dude...
-
The fact that we get free documentaries on YouTube by WIRED is truly a gift 👍😊👏
-
this video makes me wonder how many disguised people ive walked past on the street.
-
Imagine how many disguised people you have seen and didnt notice
-
This woman needs her own series she's incredible
-
This presentation is absolutely fascinating! 👌 I had the opportunity to see Jonna and her husband, who was also a CIA operative, in person several years ago. Their stories were captivating! It was a series that a local newspaper sponsored to the public of various prominent guest speakers usually twice a year. Of course, we had to pay for tickets. It was worthwhile.
-
Imagine being her kid and trying to get away with something... “I was the shop attendant all along, I know you bought that alcohol”
-
"these are photos of me and george w.bush and revealing to him that i was briefing while wearing a mask" Absolute power move
-
This is so cool, as an American I feel like she is my step-Grandma teaching me how to act, especially in Europe.
-
This is an awesome video! So intriguing and influential. Obviously these "tricks" are decades old so imagine the tricks they have now...
-
"it's impossible to turn a man into a women "😭
-
She said a lot without revealing anything
-
I’m surprised she’s even allowed to talk about this.
-
I wasn't done listening to her when this suddenly ended after only a couple of minutes. Fantastic woman and presentation, and intriguing topic
-
Her CIA husband was Tony Mendez, the man the movie ARGO was made after. I heard him speak at a luncheon years ago, describing how he exfiltrated the American diplomats out of Iran. Wonderful family they are. RIP, Tony!
