Dear DCRoadTripper,
CIA #Museum is not open to the public, so you can’t come here in person. However, Washington DC is home to @smithsonian’s wonderful museums [free & open to the public!] & 2 museums run by our colleague’s @FBI & @NSAGov.

If you contact your local congressional representative, you can look at arranging a tour @FBI Headquarters of its exhibit, The FBI Experience: bit.ly/2F5oPWE

Dear Bookworm,
To get a CIA Library card, you’ll need a security clearance.
It might look like a modern public #library, but among the books you’ll find volumes most Americans will never see. The literature of secrets

Officially, 1st female CIA officer to die in the line of duty was Barbara Robbins. She was killed in 1965 terrorist bombing of US Embassy in S. Vietnam
She’s the youngest CIA officer to receive a star on our Memorial Wall, at just 21 yrs old

What many CIA history buffs don’t know is the 1st CIA officer to die while working for the Agency was also a woman: her name was Jane Wallis Burrell
She was returning to Paris from a trip to Brussels (1948) when the flight she was on crashed

There’s no “right” college major, background, or skillset to work @ CIA. We’re a very diverse workplace, both in terms of the types of jobs we staff as well as the people we hire. The best advice I can give is do well in whatever you’re most interested in @ school.

Dear Film Buff 007,
All Hollywood films & TV shows, of course, take liberties when portraying CIA. I can’t generalize & say “this film is accurate” & “that film is total bunk.” They all probably contain some elements of truth & fiction.

Insider tip: A Hollywood habit that drives everyone who works for CIA bonkers is calling us agents
In the real-world lexicon of spies:
Americans who work for CIA are called “officers”
Foreigners who give us intel (the actual “spies”) are “agents”

Dear @MaceTheSpaceDog,
Driving an Aston Martin, of course. Just kidding!
The best thing about working for CIA is being part of a mission bigger than yourself. You’re part of a team, a family, even if your role is less traditional, like “Molly Hale.”

Dear Plenty of Phish (and all you lonely hearts out there),
It’s #ValentinesDay. If you, like many Americans, are looking for love online, be careful.
DO NOT give your personal info to anyone on a dating site claiming to be a CIA officer.

Best case, they have an overblown ego & bad judgment; worst case, it’s a scam designed to steal your financial information.
Our security officers have been hearing about this particular con. It’s a type of #phishing scam.
Don’t take the bait.

We may be one of the world’s most secretive & mysterious workplaces, but CIA will never solicit info from you in this way.
If you come across this scam, contact local police or @FBI.
Remember: If it seems fishy, it’s probably #phishing.

This week’s question was sent by @MLMikeMilli: “What are a couple of the biggest differences between the @FBI & the @CIA?”
Short answer: CIA’s mission is to collect foreign intelligence overseas, where as FBI addresses domestic issues.

#AskMollyHale
CIA doesn’t have law enforcement authority like @FBI, & we don’t collect information concerning the domestic activities of US citizens.
We do, however, have our own federal police force called Special Protective Services who protect CIA employees & facilities.

FBI is a law enforcement agency. They investigate crimes on US soil & against US citizens abroad.
We frequently work closely w/ @FBI, but our roles in keeping America safe are very different.
Hope that helps clarify things!
