Price includes packing and dead-dropping

OTTAWA -- Canada's official spy souvenir shop is the perfect complement to the country's official spy museum.

They're both top-secret facilities that are strictly off limits to ordinary Canadians and tourists.

Word of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's museum, featuring espionage cameras, micro-transmitters and other paraphernalia from the Cold War, was leaked to the news media years ago.

But a newly released document indicates CSIS also runs a non-profit "souvenir shop," available only to those with proper security clearance.

"For individuals wishing to purchase items from the Souvenir Shop, they can do so by stating what they want and putting the money in an envelope," say the minutes of a meeting of energy experts at CSIS headquarters in Ottawa.
