Ever wonder how CIA operatives actually work right under your nose at embassies around the world? In this episode, Daniel Torres pulls back the curtain on one of America's most secretive operations and reveals how intelligence gathering really happens in plain sight.

On Proof Positive, we break down how CIA stations operate in over 120 countries, explore the 18-month training process at Camp Peary that turns regular people into spies, and examine the split between official cover officers working in embassies versus those operating under fake identities. You'll discover how about 60% of CIA personnel hide behind diplomatic roles, learn about the cyber division's smartphone and smart TV hacking capabilities, and understand why places like Frankfurt serve as major intelligence hubs. This isn't Hollywood fiction - it's the real deal.
