Likewise, the genre has branched out considerably since then.
Secret agents names movie#
While's Ian Fleming's 007 undoubtedly helped to raise popularity in the genre and inspired many imitators, the spy movie was around long before Bond appeared on the screen. Anything less would be the same as handing tactical information to our enemies all over the world.When audiences think of the spy movie, their minds undoubtedly go to James Bond. But they will certainly have to institute some solid measures to stop these kinds of devices being used by troops on bases in the future. Naturally, the military wants to portray themselves as having complete control over the situation. In an official response to the story, the Director of the Office of National Intelligence said, “The use of personal fitness and similar devices by individuals engaged in US Government support is determined and directed by each agency and department.” According to a Dutch news site, the app and devices “let anyone find names and addresses for thousands of soldiers and secret agents.” Practically identical to FitBit, Polar Flow revealed even more detail and even more bases. This time the service involved was Polar Flow. FitBit devices were banned on US bases and everybody assumed the problem was solved.Įxcept it wasn’t solved, because it happened again. The maps were taken down although, certainly people hostile to the US military recorded the info first and some people were disciplined. By and large, the military understood that it was a mistake. Of course, the one in Antarctica is especially interesting for a host of reasons.īut wait, there’s more. The locations of some of the most sensitive military bases outlined by FitBit equipped runners include Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and others. But it has, and now they don’t know what to do. They did not see this revolution in mobile fitness tracking tech basically giving the whole world schematic images of their top secret bases. Suddenly, their super-secret bases were not secret anymore. So the military went into total panic mode over this. The courses outlined by the service clearly trace streets inside bases and their perimeters. If you went on the FitBit website, before the images were taken down, you could find courses people ran in spots like Antarctica, right in the middle of areas that are blacked out. Military personnel working on secret military bases all over the world have been using these GPS enabled wireless, Internet-capable fitness trackers. You can look at the courses people are setting up for themselves all over the world… no matter where they are. Users can also see the performance of other people who have run the same course as you and other courses. Part of the FitBit value proposition is the ability to map, measure, track, and time yourself on specific routes that you create and run yourself. They sell and provide service for wearable mobile devices that have kinetic sensors that track the user’s activity whilst exercising and during other activities as well. FitBit is a very, (stress on the word ‘very’) popular fitness tracking service.
What’s FitBit, you say? We’re glad you asked. All of them! Why?īecause personnel on these bases have been using FitBit trackers to monitor their workouts and FitBit publishes the routes that the users of their products run.ĭid your brain just flip over inside your head? Ours did when we found out about this. Okay, that said, there are a ton of US military bases all over the world that no one except authorized persons are supposed to know about. It gives the armed forces the ability to turn up the heat on an enemy just a few degrees higher than they can stand at a critical moment when it will turn the tide of a battle. Conventional military secrecy is just about having a weapon that the enemy in any given situation doesn’t know about. Sometimes it is but conventional military secrecy is not about giving sections of the population Lyme Disease. What you’ve got to understand about military secrecy is, it isn’t always about pulling off nefarious deeds on the public. Eventually, it will get out and they’ll have something else secret waiting in the wings ready to take its place. Like the fact that there is a jet that can go higher, faster, and blow more stuff up than the most advanced jet you know about. Many of them we understand, and kind of know about already. Ready for the understatement of the year? The United States military has lots of secrets.
