I think the guard was pulling your leg. A real CIA agent would never acknowledge
that they were there. They sure as hell wouldn't tell a local security guard.

Was hired today to do some promotional pictures at the local casino. I
preferred it when the building was an abandoned railroad station, but I
digress.
Used Portra 800 in the 6x7 with the 45mm lens.
Shot 2 rolls of film and switched over to the LX and the A20mm f/2.8 and the
Tak 17mm fisheye, also with Portra 800.
Shot a dozen or so pictures with both lenses.
Was just packing up when one of the security people approached me, and asked
if I had taken any pictures.
YUP, said I, just finished.
Buddy points out a person at a table and asks if I got any pictures with her
in it.
I had been shooting overviews, so replied, that all the pictures had her in
them.
Buddy says I can't use the photos.
Apparently, the person works for the CIA, and they are like vampires when it
comes to cameras.
I say we will make sure any pictures submitted will have her face smudged
out.
I'm thinking:
So, you work for the CIA?
That don't impress me much....
Maybe I'll Photoshop Dick Cheney's face onto her head.
And put bin Laden beside her, wearing a straw hat.
That would go over well.
