Product Description:
This bundle includes 2 following documentaries: ***(1) SPY TECHNOLOGY ~ From CIA secrets to the surveillance devices of today, this is an inside look at the agency. In the name of national security, the governments of the world have developed devices that could render privacy a quaint anachronism. But could this Orwellian nightmare ever really come to pass? SPY TECHNOLOGY traces the evolution of the tools of espionage over the past century, from drop boxes and rudimentary codes to the tiny, high-tech devices that are already far more prevalent than most people imagine. Get an up-close look at some of the most important spy equipment ever made, and hear James Bond stories of their use in the Cold War and afterwards. Find out why there is no technical reason why the lessons learned spying on other countries might soon be put into use internally. It is no longer a question of feasibility, yet of ethics. ***(2) WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ~ This is an eye-opening, must-watch survey of existing nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological threats to our lives. In this comprehensive documentary, MODERN MARVELS delves into the world of WMDs from the cutting-edge to the surprisingly effective low-tech, from the awesome power of nuclear bombs to microscopic anthrax spores. Discover who possesses these nightmare weapons and explore the danger posed by terrorists with deadly technologies. Using the latest computer modeling, witness the deadly radioactive plume that would result from a dirty bomb attack in Seattle. Investigate how bio-agents are developed and understand the technology currently used to identify and prevent suicide bombings. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION have made the world a terribly dangerous place, yet this program shows how scientists and governments are striving for lasting solutions. (Total running time 1 hr 40 min)
