The Mossad had a big embarrassment some years ago. Wearing ties is not common in Israel, but, for forged credentials, people were usually photographed wearing a tie. The photography shop provided people with a tie.

The Mossad used the same three ties for everybody.



Contamination kills; I'm amazed they reused forging facilities like that.


I doubt CIA Technical Services was burned down and reconstructed for every mission. Seems like intelligence agencies are always going to want some shared, reusable resources.


Of course not, but they don't use the same signature techniques on all forged documents either -- that would just be silly.
