Ok, maybe not. But The Central Intelligence Agency has finally declassified some cagey American spy techniques from yesteryear. Dating back to the First World War era, they're the oldest secret U.S. documents in their possession. In fact, they're so old they actually predate the founding of the CIA by 30 years...
So, what's in these juicy files? That Woodrow Wilson was secretly an alien from beyond the moon? That then British Minister of Munitions Winston Churchill was secretly a spy for the Austro-Hungarian empire?
Nothing so exciting (or absurd) I'm afraid. However, thanks to this wee document dump, you can now make your own "secret writing ink!" Or, learn how to secretly open other peoples' mail without them ever knowing!
Hey what do you want? America wasn't a superpower until after the Second World War. It was sleepy times on the spy front back then...
