This shows the main CIA campus from 1988-2008 with zoom of headquarters
buildings. Day of week of the photos provided with percentage of parking
facilities in use on those days.
The table shows that attendance of personnel at headquarters have been
consistently full-bore since the drone program was initiated, although the
drone program is likely only a portion of a more extensive initiative.
Otherwise, for an agency supposedly in the forefront of the GWOT 24 x7 x
365 the workforce appears to follow a standard corporate model, even with
its erratic attendance. The skimpy workforce on some days is awkward, as
if there was no crisis worth paying attention to, or if there is, to just
sit on the dots until Monday. Could be the sleazy corporate model includes
arranging work for maximum overtime pay to bloat the budget demand.
Jaded sat spotters will understand that the parked vehicles may include fakes,
and empty lots don't tell the whole story -- sats lie by design and photo
doctoring was ancient tradecraft long before the sat operators and Google
were hired to dissimulate. Since some of the very low percentage of parking
use occurs on what would be a normal non-holiday work day, the dates of the
photos may not fully correlate with dates, or the shots were taken outside
9-5 work hours, or the photos are disinfo.
The sat shot on September 12, 2001, can be compared to shots of World Trade
Center and the Pentagon on that day (below).
The new National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) building was opened in 2006
and likely impacted personnel parking at CIA headquarters, probably double-upped
to oversee the competitive watchlisters. Opening of the ODNI and then its
headquarters next to the NCTC probably added another layer or two of clerks
and supervisors and paranoid overseers about the time the drones were invented
to keep CIA in the daring frontlines of personnel surge if only via celebrated
safe-at-home killers.
