This is an interesting story. My buddy that was working a contract in Qatar, was able to interdict a spy, that was stealing information on the base that he was working on. This device was on a key ring, and looked like a large pencil. The individual had a thumb drive inside this thing and there were numerous photos and documents on it, that they took from various computers on the base.
I am posting this, because there are a lot of guys reading this that are in charge of gates and entry control, and this is just a heads up as to the kind of stuff that the booger eaters are trying to sneak in. They can actually hide thumb drives in all sorts of stuff now, because of their size, and there are manufacturers that creating all sorts of unique products that might not be too recognizable. This particular set up almost looks like something that is already sold in the middle east, or it could be home made. Either way, keep a heads up for this kind of thing, and the enemy is certainly creative enough to produce these kinds of things.
And on a side note, my buddy was recognized by his company for a job well done, for catching this guy. No cash award, but they did give him a nice little plack. As for the spy, who knows what they did with him. And if any company managers are reading this, it would be pretty nice of you were to set up a cash award/recognition system for employees that have interdicted spies. It is the right thing to do, and it should be promoted within the organization as an incentive to stop such a thing. –Head Jundi
