CIA Reveals Its James Bond-Worthy Spy Gadgets

In a world where Russian femme fatales become international brands and that iconic martini-sipping spy has made a resurgent reboot -- thank you, Daniel Craig -- it seems only fitting that the notoriously secretive Central Intelligence Agency is giving the world an insider’s look at some of its wackier exploits.

Last week, the U.S. spy organization launched a complete overhaul to its cia.gov website, including new pages on YouTube and Flickr containing historical Agency videos and picture galleries.

“The idea behind these improvements is to make more information about the agency available to more people, more easily,” director Leon Panetta said in a statement. “The CIA wants the American people and the world to understand its mission and its vital role in keeping our country safe.”

Fascinating... but they seem to be missing a spy's most valuable tool

Any more info on that semi submersible? That looks interesting...

Any spy agency biggest asset is probably a very nice pair of boobs.....I hate intelligence agency in general. As I live in a third world intelligence agency often equates with being oppression tool. Even country like Singapore uses theirs to target innocents for the pleasure and benefit of the idiots in rule. SHAME ON THEM.

If anyone is unfortunate enough to find themselves in Washington DC, I can recommend the Spy Museum. Budget about 4-5 hours and try to get there when it is not crowded.
