How hard could it be to decipher whether the coins actually had spying devices in them? They aren't sure? Hilarious.

I can't imagine a transmitter that size (if they existed) would even be able to reach that far. They could spy on you, standing next to you!

Well, at least they think we're capable of something like that. That is sort of flattering I guess.

What they didn't show is the guy sitting next to you when you're using the coin

In all serious though, Americans have reasons to be concerned. Canada is an intellience hot bed for foreign intelligence agencies due to our very close relations with the States. Canadians work really closely with the Americans on all aspects of security, economy, industry, and policy. Foreign intelligence will tend to try to get to us, to get to the US

Its a big red flower that attracts attention immediately.

Are they overestimating us, or underestimating us??

We've got them right where we want them!
