Devices of Deception Episode 4

Forget Hollywood - real-life spy gear is far more fascinating. Dolph Lundgren pulls the curtain back on the shadowy devices that won secret wars: the CIA's pigeon-mounted spy cameras, bone-conduction radios hidden inside tobacco pipes, the deadly silent heart attack gun, and the secret Enigma code that changed WWII. It's espionage, engineering, and secrecy at its best.
