Oh, Clear made me realize, no one so far has said how easy it would be to become a spy as an academic, like Sydney Bristow, who was supposedly in grad school in her first few years of being a spy -- a double agent, no less. (Once, while traipsing through a jungle looking for a bad guy, she was asked how school was going, and she said she was supposed to be writing her dissertation. Best procrastination ever.) ALIAS, anyone? Anyone? Perhaps the most obvious indication that she wasn't really writing her thesis is that she was way too buff. Still, I can pretend.
ALIAS? Anyone? Ever watch it? If not, it's a fun Netflix choice, at least the first two seasons, anyway.
Hope Homeland Security isn't watching our blog to look for evidence of spies posing as academics, even on TV...
