I know people are stupid. Iran-Contra wasn't done by idiots, though. The CIA tries *really* hard not to hire idiots. The more idiots there are, the easier it is to blend in with the idiots.

You want to go absolutely anywhere in most cities, you get a dirty jumpsuit and a baseball cap and fill up a shitty truck with landscaping equipment or janitorial supplies. It's not because most janitors are CIA assets, it's because they almost never are.

Interns are almost never there from the military to keep tabs on your organization, so they are usually barely vetted. Sometimes they are there from the military to keep tabs on your organization, though: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/apr/12/julianborger .
