        By inserting the device into the unsealed gap at the top of an envelope flap, one could then wind the letter around the pincers & extract the letter from within. #OSS #WWII #HISTINTpic.twitter.com/4IwB3nmFbf

        Silly question. How do you get the letter back into the envelope after you have read it?

        I remember this also being used by postal workers to steal money from envelopes back around the 70’s I think? When it was discovered, the post office said do not send cash through the mail. Good reminder now. Thank you CIA for the wonderful work you do. Be safe around the world
