Well, considering they hang out with drug lords and abuse many people's
civil rights, we are. (My father was a counter espionage agent with the
OSS). But that's not the point of it, right? 

If the CIA really wanted a low light lens, they could go with the Contax
high speed lens that's got a light amplification module that makes it many
times faster than the theoretical limit to pure optical systems.
