haha well dont assume spies are some godmode infallable people. spies also are humans and can have varying degrees of freedom to express their stupidity in their work..

in our country some spies got caught drivin around with wifi pineapple in plain sight circling govt and ngo sites.

in my mind thats next level dumb stuff, but maybe they arent really hackers and think its not conspicuous, or even the opposite, they know exactly what it is but think 'oh normal people wont stop to think about this, they dont recognise such equipment'.

if you werent there, didnt know the guys in the van etc. etc. - its all just guesswork.

even public record of a sewer inspection right then and there at that time (which i kinda doubt exists) wouldnt confirm or deny what that van was really doing there.

that being said, i would _assume_ its a sewer inspection van. but thats an assumption, not a known fact.
