    That’s interesting. Most people in that world have boring cover jobs. They don’t say “it’s highly classified” because that’s part of the secret - the who and where for a project.

      I don’t know where exactly she worked or what she worked on. I know he was well paid and said “I’m not the breadwinner in the family, my wife makes atleast 3 times what I do”.

        The biggest secret is that there is a secret to begin with. In a lot of environments they work very hard to keep you from knowing who’s doing something important and who is doing routine work. It’s interesting to me that her agency allows someone to admit they are working on a secret project. I’ve never been in that world but I have been adjacent to it.
