Defense workers warned about spy coins
By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer 53 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Can the coins jingling in your pocket trace your
movements? The Defense Department is warning its American contractor
employees about a new espionage threat seemingly straight from
Hollywood: It discovered Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency
transmitters hidden inside.
In a U.S. government report, it said the mysterious coins were found
planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at
least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006
as the contractors traveled through Canada.
