My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage.

Freedom! Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.

I recently wrapped up a contract in Denver where I was teaching a bunch of engineers how to protect themselves against industrial espionage.

Now, I absolutely love teaching people about

completely and totally disgustingly wasteful and not at all eco-friendly. And it's shiny and it's shiny and it's like beige and

princessy and kind of bedazzled. And I'm like, what is this lady doing with this bag? And then I look

a little bit closer and I see hanging from the bag a little name tag. But this isn't like any other
