I had a colleague that applied, and was subsequently interviewed for a position with CSIS. He said he was instructed to go to a large office tower in Toronto, go to x floor and ask for a particular person. Nothing was labelled as CSIS.

I had a friend in Israel who, for part of her induction into her mandatory 18mo IDF service, was scheduled for an interview with the Israeli intelligence service.

In preparation for the interview, they sent her the address, a map showing the building, and marked three separate entrances and how to get to their office from them: the main entrance, a side entrance, and one off the alley behind the building (which I assume is closer to parking? maybe?).

It was very weird. I think she decided just to go in through the lobby.

Three potential routes means a grab team attempting to snatch someone have to have three plans.

Security by obscurity works better in the physical world.
