No spy-gadget stores in USA?

There's a spy shop at 1027 Connecticut Ave in downtown DC: "The Counter Spy Shop". I've walked by it literally thousands of times but never actually been inside. I've been inside once, several years ago (so it may have changed since then, but probably not). They had a few gadgets on display, but the atmosphere seemed like they were into some serious stuff. I got the feeling (maybe with actual documentation, it's been so long I can't remember) that they did installations for embassies and other such significant places around town. If I *really* needed to spy on someone or figure out if someone was spying on me, I'll bet they would have exactly what I needed and the expertise to set it up, at a hefty price tag. -- CrazyOne | "I say what it occurs to me to say aka Greg Pacek | when I think I hear people say Pittsburgh, PA, USA, Earth | things.

This particular one has a web site. It looks like they HAD a web site. Now it seems to be on sale... Great, i can't even find stuff like that on the web. Google spy shop new york |

Take a look at www.shomer-tec.com
It's a law enforcement/military equipment supply but some of their stuff is of the "spy" nature. |

yea you were either in a State that prohibited them or were just looking
in the wrong places.

Are such goods prohibited? ou need to find a specialised store or an oneline/catalog retailer. I doubt if such things are forbidden in the U.S. (or maybe prohibited from use but certainly not illegal to buy/sell/own) |

something like that. Are such goods prohibited? Definitely not. I think you would most likely find more online stores than physical shops. If you are in any major city, most certainly NYC or DC, probably LA and Chicago, you should find several people peddling such wares. Now -- most of those shops have a tendency to be complete ripoffs. For example, take the $1000-$2500 bug detectors these companies sell. What are they? Normally $300(sometimes less) frequency counters. Will they detect bugs? Maybe. Depending on power output, frequency used, etc. I even believe these spy shops have some phony non-profit "licensing"(ie pay us and you are in) organizations. Keith Pittsburgh |
