Seriously I’ve seen a guy see a bunch of pixels and go “Idk but that reminds me of Mexico” and he was right. There’s no way the three letter companies wouldn’t want that kind of skillset, right?

    The problem is getting the pictures to work from. People who don’t want to be found aren’t giving the CIA pictures of their locations, and I’d imagine the CIA already knows what road signs look like in different countries, or where certain mountains and other features are.

    The problem is getting the pictures. It’s intel collection, not processing.

      I mean “the CIA” isn’t a person. Someone there does this work. Which is what we’re talking about.
