4. Oh, come on, the CIA has the patent on lame-brain ideas

They really did create a plan to blanket the USSR with huge condoms marked "Made in USA, Size Medium" but the operation wasn't ever carried out. They did a bunch of other shit too.

For real entertainment you should try looking at industrial espionage during the Cold War...the Soviets tried to get someone at one of the Paris airports to scrape skid marks from Concorde tires off the runway, so they could analyze the composition of the rubber compound...the guy they tried recruiting called French intelligence, the French called the CIA, and the CIA mixed rubber cement with a ground-up charcoal briquet. The Soviets attempted to buy an American minicomputer for defense work and the manufacturer called the CIA; the CIA removed the computer and filled the crate with wet concrete.

Y'know, life was a hell of a lot more fun when we had Soviets to fuck with.
