If you were a spy...

Sometimes you watch a movie about 007 or read the news about Litvinenko death and you think. What those people do as the spies? why do they do it? and how do they do it?

Well, let's assume one is a spy. What should be the best techniques to avoid any risks of being discovered? I guess, first it is even quite complicated for a spy to remember himself which identity is the true one. Since playing his role well, he de facto lives in a different reality and has to accept it as his primary identity. By anyway, going back to the topic of successfully fulfilling the mission. There are must be several rules, like avoiding contacts with people you know from your 'real life'; thinking about the reasonable explanations to the questions people might ask you (usually the simplest answers work the best); trying to get in contact with people you need through people they know and trust. Hmm, it seems not to be easy. And it is rather over surrealistic for me. On the other hand when you start thinking like that, you can come up with an idea, that all people around are spies and it's then paranoia. :D

By the way, starting June 28th USA Network's Burn Notice will present a TV series about the same issue. There you can find out more interesting tricks.
