"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I'm reliably informed via my extensive collection of Frederick Forsyth novels that a common spy tactic is to attempt to exchange "favours" for information. Were one not happily married, one might almost welcome having one's patriotism tested.
Once there was a French diplomat posted to Moscow. Several months into his tour, the KGB decided to 'turn' him. He met a lovely and willing young lady with whom he spend much vigorous quality time.
After several weeks, a KGB rep made an appointment to chat with the diplomat, during which the Chekist handed over an envelope filled with numerous photos of those nights of passions and earth moving.
The diplomat spend ten-15 minutes examining the photos, until he had selected three or four. Looking the Chekist in the eye, he baldly stated, "These are the best ones; I would like 10 copies of each." Thus ended the honeytrap.
When I was going through my first security check in the Army, it turned out a charming young lady of my acquaintance in the UK was a former mistress of the head of the Brit Workers Revolutionary Party. Ah,the good-humored amusement all around...
Well, at least she's busty, er, ah, ummmmmm, busted.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she's busted!

ReplyDeleteShe's certainly no great beauty, but combine those eyes, the red hair, and the exotic Russian accent and.....you've got a national security crisis.
ReplyDeletecac: Too right. How are we going to know if we truly have good character if we don't get an opportunity to resist temptation from time to time?
ReplyDeleteBob: M'y-e-s...I can see it now...
"Darlink! Is dat a chakra in your pocket or are you just being happy to see me?"
