Honey Traps


A round up of some better known honey trap stories:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/03/12/the_history_of_the_honey_trap. Tom Clancy does a great job at describing the art of the honey trap in his book, "The Cardinal of the Kremlin." In fact, it's a fascinating overall look at spy craft--the setting of drops and all that neat spook stuff. Honey traps have to be one of the easiest gigs to pull off--both men and women (especially men) can be had very easily when it comes to sex. According to spymasters; for men, it simply takes an attractive woman showing interest in them and it won't be long for the physical act to occur and the summary blackmail that will follow. For women, typically a little longer--the romance deal will need to play out for a while before she's in the sack. Speaking of romance, I've got the anniversary thing with the missus tomorrow and it's one of the big ones. Ask her about honey traps--she'll probably say I went down without a shot being fired.
