Description: "You just look at it, and you just say, ’Oh, my God.’” In this episode of Object of Intrigue, we look at a scrotum concealment device, developed to be worn on the human body. It was designed to hide a miniaturized escape radio, with the idea that enemy officers would never think to thoroughly search the genital area. It was never used in the field, and lingered in a desk drawer for many years. Watch as the Director of Youth Education at the International Spy Museum takes us through this unique object’s history.
