The CIA can’t use Fitbits for annual step challenge.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Fitbits and other high-tech devices are a no-no for counting steps in the CIA’s annual Pedometer challenge.

This is a fun read and reminds me of the good old days when I used to test a fitness tracker’s step count accuracy against a Yamax Digi-Walker SW-200.
