It is Day Two of our Spy Week, presented by the International Spy Museum! Today, former CIA agent Lindsay Moran tells us how to spot a spy in DC, whether it’s your neighbor, best friend, or that guy hitting on you at the bar. Because if you’re in D.C., where there are an estimated 10,000 spies, there’s a non-zero chance that you’re being tailed. 


Check out Lindsay’s book, "Blowing My Cover," for more tips.
