CIA tries to recruit potential operatives at Dulles, O’Hare during Christmas

Christmas is a peak travel period, and the highly secret CIA is apparently using it as an opportunity to help recruit potential agents and operatives among passengers at Dulles International Airport.

On its Twitter feed, the agency on Thursday addressed those “flying home for the #holidays” through the international terminals at both Dulles and Chicago’s O’Hare airport. It asked them to “be on the lookout for our recruitment campaign.”

The agency’s O’Hare recruitment poster, as shown on Twitter, advised passengers that the next time they passed through they could be “traveling to a faraway place to protect our nation.”

Presumably the pitch in the Dulles ad is similar.

The O’Hare poster adds: “It’s possible with the CIA.” It includes the agency seal, and it carries the address of what appears to be a CIA website. The poster also notes that U.S. citizenship is required.
