“Glowies”? As in “glow in the dark CIA n-words”? Bro turned into Tarry Davis.

Would that apply to James Bond? I’ve always wondered how everyone in those movies didn’t instantly know who he was. Kinda like Archer. Archer is definitely a glowie.

The books were clearer about this, in fairness. Bond wasn’t a spy so much as an agent provocateur and a major part of his role was to cause disruption, panic and general fuss, but in a controlled way.

Agents provocateur are actually what we historically had to worry about just as much as spies. They’re the guy who’s just raring to go do something a bit risky or really wants to run security for your event. Doing what they say or aiding them will get you arrested.
