Spy Shop-Spyware

All over the Internet, even the shops own website say, open Sunday. I drive a half an hour to the Ardmore location and the shop is closed. Waste of time and gas.

One of three locations in the Delaware Valley, I had the pleasure of visiting the one in Ardmore, PA the other day. I was a little disappointed it was so easy to find. Right on the Main Line and I didn’t even have to use a secret password to gain admittance. The only barrier to entry was the «You Must Be 18 notice on the door. I guess it’s too easy to be a super spy these days.
The only thing missing was a sign proclaiming: «None of these objects sold are intended to be used for the purposes of evil.»
The manager was very friendly and helpful. They also have books and magazines for sale. No shoe phones were on display, but I did inquire about a camera in a briefcase. I was told they didn’t have any currently. Didn’t see a gun built into a radio either, but I guess you would need to be a C.O.N.T.R.O.L. agent to buy it.
Damn. When I was a kid I had this Man From Uncle briefcase which had a camera and a dart gun built into it.
With 700 square feet of space (give or take), you wouldn’t think the Secret HQ would have much room for merchandise. Wrong! They have all the room they need for sun glasses with video cams hidden in them, pens with video cams hidden in them, and boom boxes with video cams hidden in them. There’s even an assortment of common objects for concealing your secret papers. These days, you don’t have to hollow out a book for your stash of microfilm, you can buy one where it’s been done for you.
