Object of Intrigue
The CIA's Fake Scrotum That Hid a Radio
In this episode of Object of Intrigue, at the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., we look at a scrotum concealment device, developed to be worn on the human body. It was designed to hide a miniaturized escape radio, with the idea that enemy officers would never think to thoroughly search the genital area. It was never used in the field, and lingered in a desk drawer for many years.
