Canadian coins bugged, U.S. security agency says

They say money talks, and a new report suggests Canadian currency is indeed chatting, at least electronically, on behalf of shadowy spies.

Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defence.

Security experts believe the miniature devices could be used to track the movements of defence industry personnel dealing in sensitive military technology.

"You might want to know where the individual is going, what meetings the individual might be having and, above all, with whom," said David Harris, a former CSIS officer who consults on security matters.

"The more covert or clandestine the activity in which somebody might be involved, the more significant this kind of information could be."

The counter-intelligence office of the U.S. Defence Security Service cites the currency caper as an example of the methods international spies have recently tried to illicitly acquire military technology.

imported_Bruce Fee

they are a good money making operation... they charge to train other countries...

i'm surprised they don't have an infomercial.

at their recruitment thing they announced no drugs for one year to pass the test.. "you have alcohol to tide you through"

cibs

hahaha only canadian intelligence would get outed like that... haha what amateurs...

you never hear of stuff like this happening to the CIA or the FBI...


I vote Bruce for CSIS prez. he'd get the job done right... wouldn't care about what anyone else thought... and would do whatever it took to reach the outcome he wants...

that's the problem with canadians... we're not cutthroat, we just roll over dead

imported_Bruce Fee

you'd be able to identify csis staff by their katanas though.

cibs

meh, noone would want to mess with them cuz you could make a policy so that anyone who questions the identity of a CSIS officer gets sliced in half by it...

and then make everyone else wear fake katanas...

Xscorpio

i never knew canada has an intelligence agency lol....we are peace keeping country mang

imported_Bruce Fee

that's genious unless you're a sikh or a skih Ckgb (Canadian kgb is what the new csis will be called), you have to wear a dulled katana...

real sikhs who wish to become Ckgb would wear sharpened functional blades... so a sikh can practice his religion, yet still be uncover...

yeah man!

imported_Bruce Fee

yeah more like we are a cleaning up after the united states while they rape us for our natural resources country.

imported_viper_2_4

its not really fair to compare CSIS to american intelligence agencies (FBI or CIA), a lot of those aren't civilian organizations, CSIS is (for right or wrong)
