Former Navy SEAL Clint Emerson reveals one of the most surreal and high-risk skills used in modern intelligence operations: advanced disguise tradecraft.

In this clip, Clint explains how hyper-realistic “five-second masks,” full-body disguises, and cultural immersion were used to evade elite surveillance teams, including the FBI and CIA, during real-world training and overseas operations. From breaking surveillance boxes in New Hampshire to operating undercover in Somalia, this is a rare inside look at how identity, psychology, and preparation intersect in clandestine missions.
