OTTAWA — Security has been increased around the Ottawa headquarters of Canada’s electronic spy agency after two men entered the complex with their cell phones, saying they wanted to see if the devices were being jammed. The men took out their cell phones, claiming they wanted to see if the devices were still working or if were being jammed by CSE security. It is unclear whether the added security extends to the nearby headquarters of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, although CSE employees say that is the case. There have been previous concerns raised about security at the new CSE headquarters. In 2015, CSE employees warned that the massive glass walls of the headquarters complex could potentially allow foreign intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on Canada’s spies.
