I think there are also very different attitudes and thus implementations of Counter-Intelligence, at the tactical, operational and strategic levels.<p>-Tactical - &quot;Doing this particular activity is a pain, I don&#x27;t want to keep everything locked up, I don&#x27;t want to report every little strange thing etc&quot;<p>-Operational - &quot;This organisation (and my job) is rewarded for running successful XYZ operations, Counter-Intelligence is just a money drain for little obvious results etc&quot;<p>-Strategic or policy level - &quot;Spying will always happen. If we do it, our enemies will do it. They will probably find out eventually. Ultimately if an enemy finds out our secret stealth space rocket is actually for new types of photos and not a sneaky nuclear strike, they are more likely to act in a rational and calm way.&quot;
