Personally, I look at those glasses and think how much electronic surveillance gear could fit in that nose bridge. If I were a criminal, I would not say anything to anyone wearing glasses unless they were no frames or wire frames. BCG's or glasses like that... I'd say, nice seeing you, and split.

I’d love to see a pro breakdown of the bugging episode of The Sopranos (S. 3, ep. 1). Most of the episode focuses on the procedures the FBI follows in getting legal permission, surveilling the Soprano family, and sneaking into the house to hide a microphone. It would be cool to see how much the show got right about real-world bugging/surveillance.

I'm guessing Ms. Reese did undercover as a minor, because even now there's no way anyone would look at her and think she'd been working for 34 years. Very interesting insight into surveillance in real life. I suspect if Hollywood portrayed everything 100% accurately, though, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to watch.
