Buffet Lecture Secret Practices
Description
Espionage is of all times. Egyptians, Romans and Greeks were already sending spies out to study their enemies on the sly.
We are more used to 007s going out during the Cold War. Today, almost everything about us seems to be known to an organisation like the NSA.
This buffet lecture sneaks into the world of espionage: how do intelligence agencies operate? And with smart cameras from planes, drones and satellites, what can we all see?
