"The CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology is celebrating its 40th anniversary by revealing a few dozen of its secrets for a new museum inside its headquarters near Washington. Keith Melton, a leading historian of intelligence, calls it 'the finest spy musuem you'll never see.' It is accessible only to CIA employees and guests admitted to those closed quarters, reports AP. "Besides the jungle transmitter, the exhibits include a robotic catfish, a remote-controlled dragonfly and a camera strapped to the chests of pigeons and released over enemy targets in the 1970s."
Comment: It would be a much better idea to give all this obsolete stuff to the International Spy Museum in Washington, where lots of people could see it. It's a wonderful museum -- I highly recommend a visit -- and includes good coverage of UK topics including Bletchley Park and the Cambridge spy ring.
