The real-life James Bond gadgets invented by MI9 spies in WWII revealed. From pens with daggers to compasses inside buttons, this is the fascinating escape equipment used by Allied forces in the Second World War that appears to have come straight out of a spy film.
MI9, Britain’s centre for military intelligence between 1939 and 1945, invented hundreds of covert devices to help prisoners of war escape and aid the return of soldiers stranded in enemy territory. Researchers at the War Office department even engineered maps inside Monopoly games, and their work has been revealed in a book by military veteran and historian Phil Froom entitled Evasion and Escape Devices. Clever plan: John Waddington, Britain’s Monopoly distributor, was contracted by MI9 to manufacture and smuggle escape maps early in the war. Because Monopoly was a well-known game the authorities thought it would make a good platform to smuggle escape and evasion contraband into prisoner of war camps. Atlasobscura. Meduza.

How I Socially Engineer Myself Into High Security Facilities. Serial Killer Information Center. The Serial-Killer Detector. Thomas Hargrove is a homicide archivist.
For the past seven years, he has been collecting municipal records of murders, and he now has the largest catalogue of killings in the country—751,785 murders carried out since 1976, which is roughly twenty-seven thousand more than appear in F.B.I. files. States are supposed to report murders to the Department of Justice, but some report inaccurately, or fail to report altogether, and Hargrove has sued some of these states to obtain their records. Using computer code he wrote, he searches his archive for statistical anomalies among the more ordinary murders resulting from lovers’ triangles, gang fights, robberies, or brawls.
Each year, about five thousand people kill someone and don’t get caught, and a percentage of these men and women have undoubtedly killed more than once. Hargrove intends to find them with his code, which he sometimes calls a serial-killer detector. The man who cleans up blood after murders.

They are often accused of being realpolitikers or just plain cynical. Although crude jokes are made about the lack of morality in the intel game (the world’s second oldest profession — with far fewer morals than the first, etc.), the fact is that these are men and women serving their country. Their goal is to keep their own country safe, or in a colonial situation, to keep control of their country’s possessions. Insurgencies are their worst nightmare. They have to provide intelligence to decision-makers in a timely manner in what may turn out to be life and death situations. After Hatton Garden, is it still possible to get away with a heist?
