Military tech and spycraft sometimes create disgusting but highly-useful devices. Cases in point: the Turd Transmitter, used to track enemy troop movements in Vietnam; and the CIA's Rectal Tool Kit, an item designed to help agents work their way out of a jam.

Rectal Tool Kit ... to help agents work their way out of a jam.

I suppose even spies get constipated occasionally.

How would they have room for this and the pocketwatch? The video doesn't answer that.

After watching the video about the CIA kit, I have some serious questions:

Was there a training model with a flared base?

Also, was there field-issue lube?

I wonder how many high tension spy-on-spy scenarios were diffused as one agent whipped their pants off and started fishing for their emergency-kit...

Okay somewhat serious question... was one of the rectal tool kits ever used effectively by an agent?

Maybe someone can check the CIA annals?

Incidentally, I believe the rectal kit is mentioned in one of these colbert report videos on being a spy (skip the first 30 seconds if you don't want to see a payday loan ad) part 1 part 2.

Or, to paraphrase Dave Foley (see KITH link above), maybe the director of the CIA is just some sort of twisted ass freak.

You mean the guys that are obsessed with tricking, coercing, or torturing people into doing whatever arbitrary thing they’ve been ordered to do might also get off on tricking, coercing, and threatening people into carrying stuff around in their butts for no reason?

Yeah it’s definitely this
