<p>Robot fish "Charlie" was invented by CIA’s Directorate of Science to study aquatic robotic movement.</p>


<p>The Enigma Machine was used by German intelligence officers to code messages during WWII.</p>

<p>This tool kit was used by the Stasi secret police in East Germany.</p>


<p>The Insectothopter was the first ever miniaturized unmanned aerial vehicle, and, fortuitously, was never swatted.</p>


<p>The exhibit even has <a href="http://gothamist.com/tags/annachapman">Anna Chapman</a>'s Chanel bag. The bag has not been necessary for her work back in Mother Russia, obvs.</p>
