I did it for a few months due to my job being consolidated as my unit was pulling out of Iraq. I literally prepared 2 slides for a morning briefing, and watched TV for the rest of the shift. >>3241 Regular ole Secret is all I had. That being said a boring NEET will pass easily. In fact, the more boring you are, the faster the investigation goes...

I used to work in a three-letter-agency. It's not really all it's cracked up to be. Same stupid white hat idiots who think they're sophisticated and idiotic overlording by the bosses. The fact is most of these "scary" agencies are much more dysfunctional than anybody cares to admit. They're so impotent that we ended up with Snowden, for instance. Their so-called compartmentalization is laughable at best, everybody knows what everybody else is doing. This isn't to say some of their "bright" ideas aren't dystopian and scary, that much is very true. The thing is, it's idiots at the helm (which explains why they think those scary dystopian ideas are Good Ideas).
