Dead Drop: Week of October 19

HEADS UP DEAD DROP AFICIONADOS: The pace of Dead Drops early this week may be a bit lighter than usual since everyone who is anyone is fully consumed with the annual Cipher Brief Threat Conference. If you are saying to yourself – wait a minute! I’m someone and I’m not there – well, there’s always next year.

The Dead Drop is now updating throughout the week. Why? Because there's just too much good gossip in the national security world these days for a once-a-week collection.
