do secret agents really exist?

Question

for example the job of charlie's angels or james bond.......

Answer 1

Well, I could tell you - but then I'd have to kill you ;-)

Answer 2

Israeli and maybe Iran are the only country that has agents close to James Bond. Most agents that are out in the field are there just to gather information, not to kill people. Most U.S. agents are white spies, meaning they don't go out into the field. They read the foreign newspapers, watch the foreign programs, look at satellite photos, break codes and electronically eavesdrop from a CIA HQ or their own home.

Answer 3

"Secret agents" do exist, however not in the same fashion as the type you mentioned. Espionage isn't as "action-oriented" as you find in the movies. It's mostly just data gathering (although they do have to carry a pistol for protection depending on the situation).

Answer 4

yes they do exist such as the MI5 and the MI6 in England they are a secert service bit like one guy said they are very undercover and seem to lead normal lives like us all and they do literally have a license to kill. England is like big brother they watch people 24/7

Answer 5

yes to a point. a secret agent is never going to be as flamboyant as those characters because anonymity is their only protection. but there are some very prolific spies that are given license to kill

Answer 6

yes,but they can't have weakness's almost every country has a agent even Switzerland they first the language they speak their ,then they some-times have surgery ,they can't tell any of their relatives except their, wife, parents and children (if old enough)

Answer 7

Of course they do - look at the CIA and Valerie Plame. For local governments, probably not, but when it comes to law enforcement - who knows?

Answer 8

If they did then they wouldnt be a secret if you knew about them right? Its secret and you dont need to know.

Answer 9

Shhhhh. It's a secret.

Answer 10

yes, they do exist until now but with a wider duties and functions and very risky too
