In the Category of Photography, there used to be the Minox, they made sub miniature Cameras. I don’t recall other brands, only Minox, they were part of Leica.

“ During the Cold War, surveillance in Moscow was the most difficult kind of surveillance that the US had encountered around the globe. Moscow had its own set of rules since it was such a difficult place to work. Former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez talks about some of the tactics, gadgets and disguises CIA operatives used in the field during the Cold War. “

Commercially, with the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Movies and maybe other Movies, they appear to come out like CIA Disguises.

Turns out Ted’s no stranger to the camera — the boys in North Vegas dug up an old mugshot of him, taken the night they caught him cooling his heels at a back‑room poker school with an unlicensed heater hugging his ankle. The photo’s got that weary look a man wears when the cards have all turned against him and the dealer’s fresh out of mercy.

I have access and have checked out The Dumpster. Threads live for 15 Days in there. Alan didn't find a need for my posts to go there. Luckily for me.

But apparently the duration doesn't work.

Not really ... long ago I brought back a "round tuit" fridge magnet from my first visit to the USA!

Great minds think alike ...

Photographing while being incognito, it’s easier or harder now? Almost everyone has a camera in their phones. The phone’s shutter cannot be made to be silent to take photos.
