Almost blown sky-high at flyDubai

Season 4 Episode 2 – The next generation (X, Y, Z…) of intelligence?

Another week at the virtual bar – is Neil drinking water or vodka at 11 AM? – and the boys deliver their usual combo of insight and banter into current national security issues. In this episode we discuss the US withdrawal of Iraq (were they still there?), the flyDubai terrorist incident and why Canadian security services are begging for people (hint, hint: three formers are willing to come back..). And a poem to honour FBI Director Kash Patel’s penchant for animals.

You will learn something and have fun doing it! Imagine three retired spies in a bar shooting the breeze and go from there…
