#1 ....but which, in respect of how government worked, was not in fact that much different: the United States.

As spy hunting goes, checking the comings and goings of people from an embassy is always a good place to start. However, espionage is not limited to collection and reporting. Journalists, academia, and the media are also potential sources.

Family backgrounds are of vital importance as well. The sons of plumbers, preachers, and policemen oftentimes follow in similar footsteps.

#4 Went to a Lit/Lat church once in Chicago for a wedding. In it's basement it had a hall of honor for it's members who had fallen working for the CIA. It was a long hall.

So if I was a KGB a good first test would be ... was the guy ever near that church?
