    During the height of 1960s espionage, the agency required a highly portable method to rapidly replicate stolen intelligence during black-bag operations (surreptitious entries). To achieve this, technical wizards downsized massive industrial copying technology into a customized, ordinary-looking piece of hand luggage. This allowed covert operatives to slip into embassy offices after dark, open up their compact packages, and press out crisp copies of restricted files before returning the originals entirely undisturbed.
