Rectal Tool Kit

1960s, CIA

Filled with escape tools, this rectal tool kit could be stashed inside the body where it would not be found during a search. 

This gadget was issued to CIA operatives during the height of the Cold War. The tightly sealed, pill-shaped container was full of tools including drill bits, saws and knives that could aid an escape from various sticky situations.
