#2The FAQ is missing a critical question: “will you be arrested for playing a spy in DC?” ;)

#3This looks like great fun! Not a fan of guided tours, so this could be a cool alternative.

#4“See the best of Washington DC” -> sends you to Rosslyn. Those poor tourists…
Joking aside I love fun new excuses to explore the city, that’s a great theme for DC.

Is that a bad area?
Though I guess here in Barcelona tourists love crowding Raval which is also a really bad area full of narco flats.

It's not Washington, D.C. it's part of Arlington, VA

Not bad as in unsafe, just a bland block of high rise offices that’s dead at 6pm. It’s on public transit and close to good stuff, it’s just funny as you’d normally never send a tourist there on purpose.

I used to live there and there were plenty of tourists coming through to visit the Marine Corps memorial or Arlington Cemetery. I agree though that the neighborhood itself is extremely boring.

#9It would be funny if this was actually orchestrated by a foreign power as a way of collecting real intel.

Or.. a way to throw up a ton of noise around interesting targets.
Having hundreds of people showing up in various places, doing semi-suspicious things, generally getting in the way, etc is a good way to flood, annoy, and bury observers. Having the same people show up among each of the locations gives good cover for someone else to blend in.
If it's a foreign power, this will probably cost them a fraction of what it will cost observer nations.
