A couple of years ago I had dinner with an embassy staff of a certain country. In the middle of the conversation, he told me to look at his chronograph watch. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the watch. It was your typical rugged, sporty watch. I was taken aback when the individual told me the watch was also equipped with camera, video and audio surveillance capabilities.
I didn’t dare ask the diplomat what he used the watch for. He wasn’t recording our conversation, of course – and I knew that for sure – for the simple reason I have nothing to offer that would intrigue foreign agents except my wild imagination.
But guess what just came in the mail. See the blue light? If you press a button the light goes off and the recording begins.
