We'll see how this goes, boys. Being so far away, he had to fly out and rent a car and then drive to this town. And he didn't go alone, of course. He had two others with him who also worked at his penetration testing company. And one of his teammates brought his dog with him. She's a search and rescue dog.

And this guy had a camera with a long-range zoom lens. So he was out there taking photos of what badges looked like for people who worked there.
He couldn't get high-quality close-up photos of the badges being that far away, but it was enough to allow them to replicate it in Photoshop so that if someone is walking by or from a distance, they wouldn't know the difference.
