I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SPY_190130_01.JPG: We've Moved! Visit our new location at L'Enfant Plaza beginning Spring 2019 700 L'Enfant Plaza, SW Washington, DC 20024 For the latest intel, visit spymuseum.org International Spy Museum
2. SPY_190507_038.JPG: The Legendary Bond Car
3. SPY_190507_043.JPG: Look Up! A spy in the sky, watching tirelessly -- not for hours, but for days. The Amber, prototype for most modern drones, was a game-changer. Designed in the 1980s by aerospace engineer Abe Karem, Amber proved that a drone could fly nonstop for nearly two days, in any weather, continually collecting data -- without risking a pilot's life. Its trailblazing design transformed the way we collect overhead intelligence.
4. SPY_190507_087.JPG: I Lie for a Living I liked the shirt with I'm telling you... nothing happened. The highlighted letters say "I'm Lying."
5. SPY_190507_105.JPG: The inflatable tank was there for the opening week.
6. SPY_190507_112.JPG: The "Ghost Army" Why would the military blow up its own tanks in World War II? Because they were inflatable! This phony tank is similar to what the Luftwaffe saw from the air. Wooden planes, make-believe soldiers, sound effects, and more were developed to mislead Germany about the location and the date of the D-Day invasion of France. Later, on the battlefields of Europe, the phantom divisions and fictitious convoys sometimes operated very close to the front lines and were amazingly effective at fooling the enemy about the strength and location of the Allied units. Uncover more stories of wartime spying, plus other extraordinary stories of secrecy, deception, intrigue and ingenuity, inside the International Spy Museum.
7. SPY_190520_001.JPG: Look Up! Early Man -- Born to Spy! "It's thousands of years ago. Humankind lived in caves. Your national security concern is your family, and only nuts and berries will keep them alive. Does a neighboring cave have better nuts and berries than you do? You climb a tree to look... the first 'aerial reconnaissance'. If you then attempted to eliminate that patch of nuts and berries, you've carried out the first covert action." -- Peter Earnest
8. SPY_190520_047.JPG: The Legendary Bond Car
9. SPY_190520_074.JPG: Limited Edition This Amber drone was designed for surveillance (see the bulging nose to house a camera) -- not targeted killings. Today, drone warfare raises ethical questions, especially when civilians have also been victims. Do you think the advantages outweigh the risks?
10. SPY_190520_079.JPG: Look Familiar? The Amber's proof-of-concept design established the foundation for most drones that followed. Here is Amber's most famous grandchild: the Predator. Can you see the family resemblance?
11. SPY_190520_092.JPG: Restroom sign
12. SPY_190520_097.JPG: "Information is powerful. And precious. It can shape battles, shake nations, protect us... or control us. Which is why nations spy." -- Milton Maltz, Founding Chairman
13. SPY_190520_124.JPG: One Million and Above Milton & Tamar Maltz Keith & Karen Melton -- H. Keith Melton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia H.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
