I am not too worried. CIA isn't what they show in TV dramas. It is just another incompetent organization that will go after weak. These are the same jerks who have not really achieved any strategic objectives of importance. The are one major public scandal away from serious trouble.
Why are we letting this go on?

Ironically they're targeting the wrong end of the person. The sewers would be a great place to collect DNA and narrow down a manhunt in a large metropolitan area.
Wow, mind = blown. You could perform binary search on the sewers to find a criminal. Hah, that would be ridiculous if that was possible.
> CROWLEY: Right. Unfortunately, Allison's language had to be a little bit cryptic. They couldn't confirm exactly what they had done, but he writes that in some of the option they consider were testing. It's not pleasant testing the sewage in the town for genetic markers, and then, another was this UAV. Actually, it wasn't an eagle size UAV. It's much smaller.

Then duckduckgo the same, no quotes.
Did anyone else get disturbingly little response from google, but very detailed and recent results from duckduckgo?
I searched this precisely because I was skeptical, but that search result was just weird.
EDIT: For me it happens both in regular, tracked search and in an incognito tab.
EDIT2: Dropping snopes gives a regular result from google and searching just snopes does too. I think google's ML initiative may not be working out as well as they hoped.
