As a former employee of the Special Collection Service (SCS) for over 15 years, and travelling to all corners of the globe to perform intelligence gathering on behalf of the United States goverment; there were never any "black bag" missions tasked upon the SCS. This is a myth that may have grown out of the SCS's close working association with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). While employees of the SCS may have supported such operations usually conducted by the CIA, the SCS had no requirement under its charter to conduct such operations on its own.

- Black-bag cryptanalysis is a subset of the class "black bag" jobs. Sure, blame it all on the CIA ... *grin* —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.60.71 (talk) 02:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't believe Maroonarcher. By coming here, and only complaining about that one specific item, it's an implicit endorsement of the rest of what is written. That seems a big mistake to make for someone who worked in intelligence, particularly for a group that is officially unrecognized, which must be to disguise what their actual actions are.
