We've all watched TV shows where they interview someone wearing a disguise.

Sometimes they black their faces out.

Sometimes they blur them.

And other times the person will put a blanket on, pop some sunglasses on, and call it a day.

60 Minutes did a report on Havana Syndrome and they interviewed a FBI agent named "Carrie":

"I don't understand why they didn't just blur her face," one person asked.

I do not understand why they didn’t just blur her face.

This will fool the sort of people who don’t realize Clark Kent is Superman because he wears glasses. https://t.co/Sm2O4Vc8L5

"Like, what does she normally look like?" another person questioned.

Either way, I hope "Carrie" from the FBI is doing great, and hopefully she got to keep that Lady Gaga wig!
