The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) opened its own account on Social media platform Instagram on Thursday. CIA opened account with a picture of a desk of mysteries teased by the children’s game prompt "I spy with my little eye."
The photo tempts with intrigues and adventure: a wig suggesting disguises, maps of China and the Gulf, foreign banknotes, a burn bag for getting rid of secret documents, a notebook with Arabic, and other items -- mostly real operation souvenirs of CIA officers. Next to a wall is a photo with the words: "I want to travel the world."

The agency has been openly recruiting from universities and industry, and Instagram gives it a way to reach a large, younger demographic: most of its regular users are under 30.
