"SPYING,
which hardly cooled after the Cold War ended, appears to be in no danger
of taking a breather in the American capital," wrote an AP reporter
on the amount of espionage that constantly takes place in
Washington, DC.
"There are more
foreign spies in Washington, DC than in any other city in the
world," said the former chief of the FBI's Washington Field Office,
Ray Mislock.
Right this minute,
espionage is taking place in our nation's capital. Right this minute in
Washington, DC, someone is trying to
recruit someone to be a spy,
someone is spotting a potential recruit, someone is
photographing or
stealing secret documents, someone is putting a roll of film or
documents or money in a dead drop, someone is marking a
signal site to request a meeting or
a pick up of material or money, someone is driving around trying to detect
surveillance, someone is
conducting static, moving or electronic
surveillance of someone, someone is

Don't believe us? Think the Cold War is over
and no one is spying anymore? People normally spy for personal feelings
of anger, fear, greed, love,
etc, not for countries or political situations. Since the
Cold War ended in 1991, people have continued to be arrested for spying. Since
SpyDrive began for the public in January 2001, the following people have
been arrested for spying here in the Washington, DC area: Robert Hanssen
from the FBI, Brian Regan
from the National Reconnaissance Office, and Ana Montes,
the senior Cuban analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Who's next?
You've seen the
monuments, you've seen the museums, now see the secret side of
Washington with SpyDrive®, a
journey of espionage-related sites given by counterintelligence, intelligence and security
experts retired from long and interesting careers with the FBI, CIA, military and KGB
and who worked and operated in
this city from both sides. They recruited and caught spies; they paid
them and prosecuted them.
 This two and a half hour
"classroom on wheels" journey will show you where spies lived, worked, and operated in
Washington, DC. Houses, apartments, offices, restaurants, stores, and
parks in the city all seem innocent until you find out what kind of
espionage took place there. Dead drops, signal sites and meetings all
took place at the most unassuming spots around town. A chalk mark on a
church wall, a trash bag near a pole, an exchange of a
shopping bag in a restaurant, people talking in a peaceful park--unnoticeable
events that took place in Washington with deadly consequences.
Along the way, you will
learn about the people involved in the
espionage. Spies and spycatchers.
Case officers and their agents. A Vassar graduate, a senior State
Department official, a Navy analyst, a female Cuban agent, a son groomed
to be a spy by his KGB father.
You will also learn about
how these sites and spies
changed the course of
history.
SpyDrive
professors
from the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies (CI
Centre), who have years of real
experience in the counterintelligence, intelligence and security world
and who have
worked espionage cases from both sides, will intrigue you with
their stories of spies and spying in Washington.
Where else can you meet intelligence officers who spent years in the FBI,
CIA, military and even the KGB? Our
multimedia presentations will grab your attention the entire time and you
won't want the journey to end.
SpyDrive is one journey through Washington you
will never forget, and we hope that you
won't forget the reality of espionage that takes place all around you.
We also have a SpyDrive: The Robert Hanssen Case which takes you to
operational sites throughout Northern Virginia actually used by Hanssen
and the KGB.
