Canada's Nanotech Spy Coins
Just read a story about U.S. goverment warnings to look out for Canadian nanotech spy coins used to track visiting American contractors.
My favourite quote: "'I thought the whole thing was preposterous, to think you could tag an individual with a coin and think they wouldn't give it away or spend it', said H. Keith Melton, a leading intelligence historian."
The Globe and Mail has a great video of the incredible spy coins.
What the story didn't mention was the raid of a London, ON, Tim Horton's, where Canadian intelligence had lost track of one of the coins planted on a target American contractor. Said one officer, "This is nuts, the guy traded our high-tech nanotech spy coin for a small coffee- that thing is worth 20000 large double-doubles and 5 million timbits. Unbelievable!"
