Your wrong on multiple accounts, unless this is a simple drug running gang in the western United states that brings in less than a mil a year or a very small cult fringe group. you will get fucked by following that advice if your name holds weight;

  1. Do not break the groups down. Despite what the Departed told you breaking people into small groups and feeding them doctored information is wrong. You are right compartmentalizing information is correct, however your organization should already be compartmentalized like a corporation and have rotating teams within compartments so you can easily pinpoint a rat by determining which single person has been in every team that had breaches of security. If group A was breached in July, Group B in June, Group D in August, and Bob Jackass was in those groups in that order you shoot Bob. It shouldnt be a get organized and start weeding out rats event, you should have your organization setup so rats weed themselves out naturally. Furthermore beyond all of this you need to make your people compete, they need to fear for their fucking lives if they are a rat. Make sure they know they have 20 eyeballs and ears on them at all times just waiting for them to slip up so their position is open for the hero. That is mostly how the cartels do it, by creating a culture around killing people.

  2. As far as cellphones go, dont buy American, buy foreign phones and load your own software or some sort of tails kernel onto the phone. Phones are as necessary as any other job, and if you properly setup your orginzations phones you can just PGP text over data without the feds even being able to locate you on a GPS, let alone send or recive texts from you, even if the rats give them your phones.

  3. Forget searching for bugs or stopping the feds from hearing you if your in a meeting with associates. If they are serious about catching you they wont just send in a guy with a wire like they do for small time dope dealers, they have the tech to make pin sized microphones that can pick up a duck shitting at hundreds of feet away and have for 20 years now. Just assume they are always listening and act accordingly no matter how overly paranoid you think it is.

Everything below that point you said though is spot on.

You're not wrong about any of that, but as was pointed out in the thread about the CIA recruiting at comic conventions now, the alphabets are getting so desperate and full of diversity hires that the whole "assume you're being hunted by James Bond and Jason Bourne" spiel isn't going to hold water for much longer, if it's even holding water right now.

I'm not telling people to not be careful and secure, they always should be, and if you're worried about your own safety and the safety of others, this is all great advice. But it's important to remember that this is also how the Soviet Union died: in the end, their insistence on gulaging everyone capable of independent thought created a system where every single person in a position of power or authority was an absolute moron, as were all of their agents, all of their hands and eyes and ears. The hungry machine of progress and diversity marches every onwards: the tumblr posters and superhero aficionados of today are tomorrow's FBI ground teams and CIA operation specialists.

One of the consequences of driving all intelligent white men onto the other side of the law is that the law inevitably won't last for much longer after that. On some level, they know that, which is why they're starting to panic and reach out to anyone and everyone who might be even remotely qualified to do something in their field. But that's going to backfire on it's own, in time.
