If you're a government worker in a non allied country and an attractive stranger wants to touch your dingle, its a honeypot.

So you're saying I need to find a government job in a non allied country

And hang out in brothels and preferably have an addiction. Either to gambling or sex. Those make the honey pot much easier

What if they want to touch my honeypot, is that a dingle?

When the bear wants your money, like a big pot of honey, that's a-dingle

Which can be turned to your advantage if you're aware of it. "Oh man [insert weird deviant fetish] drives me crazy, sometimes I just start spilling state secrets"

Same goes for "allied" countries. Since Snowden revealed how the US spied on their "allies" even in the most hideous ways, it should be clear that "allies" dont exist in spycraft.

The honeypot probably has access to their Tiktok algorithm and "coincidently" likes all the same things.

Find someone who looks at you like the foreign adversary honeypot do

Government workers in other countries work there for years. This is bigger than meet-ups.

Because every citizen knows gov officials

Call me Winnie-the-Pooh!

As a non government worker who is in a non allied country, I can tell you that lots if people want to touch my dingle. None of them are honeypots because I ain't got nothing for them.

Well, besides a dingle that's statistically much larger than the locals. Many women like that..

No, its not always a honeypot for government workers either.
