I worked with a woman whose brother was a NOC for the CIA. He would call her out of the blue a few times a year. When she would answer her phone, it was a CIA operator who would ask my coworker a question that would require her to give a coded number back, then the call would be connected to her brother.
Weird shît.

Not that weird…there are all sorts of governmental jobs in secret/sensitive work areas that require a non-specific reply in order for communication to be allowed…
An example would be the “word of the day”… lets make believe it’s 9…. When the operator would say 7 you would say…plus 2… if they said 20 you would say minus 11… sometimes changed daily, weekly or monthly…
