A common refrain in the intelligence world is that the public sees what goes wrong and doesn’t see what goes right. It looks like a long list of failures because we never see the terrorist attacks that didn’t happen or the double agents who were stopped before they did any damage. Of course, that’s an easy answer that helps intelligence services to minimise their failures, but there’s probably some truth in it.
Are the spy agencies just bullshit jobs? They just make stuff up like the enemy don't have phones, so that makes them more advanced.
They do seem good at stealing oil contracts. Not sure if much else.

"The alleged agent was found out because, according to "Spiegel", among other things, he did not withdraw any money from his account for a long period of time & did not pay with a card. BKA investigators began to observe him"
