Jack mirrors the smile, carefullly choosing his words. Bond can't know yet that his adventures are well-known in other worlds, and having had the experience of finding that out for himself, Jack obviously isn't going to reveal that to him.
It does make things a little tricky, though, as he can't let on how much he knows. But then if he could survive undercover missions, this should be a piece of cake.
"Well we still call governemnt employees 'civil servants' in the States; it's just that tends to cover quite a range of professions. Most of the people I worked with would call themselves a government agent instead," he says.
He has a little more latitude to speak freely here, and he uses it. For one, he already knows whatever he tells Bond can't be a danger to security; for another, working at CTU had always been a bit more like working at the FBI than some parts of the CIA. They might not be able to talk about their work, but during their day-to-day lives they didn't have to lie about where they worked or live under an alias.
