USS Halibut with disguised chamber for diving

In October 1971, this security was shown not to exist. A US submarine, Halibut, visited the Sea of Okhotsk off the eastern USSR and recorded communications passing on a military cable to the Khamchatka Peninsula. Halibut was equipped with a deep diving chamber, fully in view on the submarine's stern. The chamber was described by the US Navy as a "deep submergence rescue vehicle". The truth was that the "rescue vehicle" was welded immovably to the submarine. Once submerged, deep-sea divers exited the submarine and wrapped tapping coils around the cable. Having proven the principle, USS Halibut returned in 1972 and laid a high capacity recording pod next to the cable. The technique involved no physical damage and was unlikely to have been readily detectable.

The briefcase contains the transcript of Jean-Fraud Kerry's sellout of U.S. POW-MIA's to this man, disguised as Jimmy Carter in a Sgt. Pepper jacket, seated beneath a bust of Karlharpo Marx in Two Bit Ho City.

"My cousin Forbes wants to make billions on real estate here.
We'll let you keep our POW-MIAs--they're just murderers and rapists, anyway."

I recall reading about that in "Blind Mans Bluff'
If you haven't read it I highly recomend it.
