Touchdown!

As they say in America. It's a beautiful day in the nation's capital.

Decided to do some spy research this afternoon at the International Spy Museum. Here's what I found out:

Shoe with Heel Transmitter. Secretly obtaining an American diplomat's shoes, the Romanians outfitted them with a hidden microphone and transmitter, thus enabling them to monitor the conversations of their unsuspecting target.

Rectal tool kit. Filled with escape tools, this kit could be stashed inside the body where it would not be found during a search.

Microdots. Agents could make microdots from common household items such as headache powder, vodka and cellophane from packets of cigarettes.

Weapons. Bobbin, British Special Forces 1939-1945.

El Salvador prisoner caught with grenade up backside

SAN SALVADOR, March 1 (Reuters) - An inmate at an El Salvador jail was caught with a hand grenade stuffed up his backside -- a novel attempt to disguise his apparent escape plans.
Guards at the San Francisco Gotera prison outside the capital San Salvador found the V40 grenade, about the size of a golf ball, lodged up the man's rectum during a security clampdown, a prison spokesman said on Thursday.
They also caught another 16 inmates who each swallowed a mobile phone.
"We'll have to expel the objects and if they won't come out we'll have to perform surgery in hospital," said Alberto Uribe, a spokesman for the El Salvador prison service.
Last year, prison guards found an M67 grenade in the vagina of a female visitor at the overcrowded La Esperanza-Mariona prison on the northern fringes of San Salvador.
Prisoners in the Central American country use weapons to try to escape or attack fellow inmates and prison guards, and use cellular phones to order free gang members to commit crimes or smuggle narcotics.

Did spies use all of these at once? On their enemies? Slip them a microdot, put some tools up their bum and record the hilarious consquences on their new shoes.

Hmmm, tried out the old microdot recipe last night. Didn't seem to have the desired effect. Maybe I added too much jif micro liquid this time.
