Undercover Work in Geneva
Snowden worked for the CIA in Geneva from 2007 to 2009, not as a technician but as a covert operative with diplomatic cover. The agency provided him with a diplomatic passport and an apartment through the U.S. embassy. His assignment involved conducting electronic surveillance operations while posing as a State Department diplomat. This experience gave Snowden direct insight into how the CIA used diplomatic positions as covers for intelligence gathering in foreign countries.
