What tools do you think of when you think of espionage? A heel knife, perhaps. A code ring? Umbrella guns? Sure. Then there’s the rectal tool kit. Yes, that’s what we said.

    Never mind how uncomfortable that must be going in……it’s when it comes apart inside you with all those sharp tools that must really suck

  2. Chris Sandoval on October 25, 2019 at 7:05 pm

    America knows what a butts for.

  3. troyez on October 25, 2019 at 7:07 pm

    Chuck Barris (host of the 1970s Gong Show) used one of these in the field. Don’t believe me? Watch (or read) "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" to get the full story.

    The CIA, looking in people’s butts for over 75 years!

  5. Steve Moore on October 25, 2019 at 7:07 pm

    the French called them a plan, used for currency

  6. Christopher Pappas on October 25, 2019 at 7:10 pm

    I mean… I mean… I mean… NO! Fuck that I want the cake with the file and hacksaw baked into it. Man my ass is still puckered up after watching that… YIKES!

  7. Haight the Great on October 25, 2019 at 7:10 pm

    The Shit Kit.

  8. Sky Max on October 25, 2019 at 7:21 pm

    usually you cant tell after watching the vid if its fake or not 😀 but not in this case 😀

  9. Aaron ALAI on October 25, 2019 at 7:21 pm

    So that scene from "The Interview" was sort of realistic?

  10. Victor Marines on October 25, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    If the cap doesn’t screw on, then how does the other half not stay inside the rectum when they try to pull it out???

  11. J L on October 25, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    I thought it was big Black Pill

  12. audiofunkdialect on October 25, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    I’ve got mine in right now.

  13. seryoung puah on October 25, 2019 at 7:26 pm

    won’t these agents get distracted from their…ass-ignments?

  14. Dragonhammer Soulbreath on October 25, 2019 at 7:26 pm

    Ok but… how did it stay in?

  15. Eric Sarnoski on October 25, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    He never mentioned if you have to remove it between meals . Can a fart accidentally eject it ?

  16. Guillermo Garnica on October 25, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    So this is where aids came from

  17. E E on October 25, 2019 at 7:30 pm

    No Amazon reviews…..

  18. Cammdc 1 on October 25, 2019 at 7:30 pm

    Deep….. Deeeeeeeep undercover..

  19. MCPetruk on October 25, 2019 at 7:32 pm

    How come "Q" never explained this gadget to James Bond?

  20. Robert Schlesinger on October 25, 2019 at 7:32 pm

    In recent decades the components have been comprised of hardened composites and hardened, carbon-based materials, so that they are not easily detectable with a metal detector or X-ray. The container is now irregularly shaped to mimic feces and shield the contents of said container. The components now may also include a composite pen gun, needles with a quick-acting shellfish or mollusk poison, and bugging devices to be planted. Not that long ago, a terrorist operative talked his way up to the head of a high level Saudi intelligence agency, where he detonated a rectally-implanted explosive device with a cell phone. Once in the presence of the Saudi royal heading said agency, he offered to call a wanted terrorist on a cell phone. He made the call, entered a special code, and detonated the suicide bomb, killing several and very seriously injuring the head of the agency.

    I suppose lady spies have options here but they would be the only ones with a smile on their faces

  22. diavlosuelto on October 25, 2019 at 7:41 pm

    …And with sufficient practice a seasoned spy could expel the entire capsule with sufficient force to make it a lethal projectile.

  23. Endorphika Morphika on October 25, 2019 at 7:42 pm

    What if it goes up too far! How did they get it out? You can’t necessarily dig into your butthole…unless you’ve already been doing some questionable things with it.

  24. danieljamesmead on October 25, 2019 at 7:42 pm

    Is that a CIA-issued tool kit up your arse or are you just pleased to see me.

  25. Connor RK505 on October 25, 2019 at 7:42 pm

    what if it opens inside

  26. Matt Nedostup on October 25, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    Who else clicked hoping that person had tiny hands?

  27. Wittski Whiskey on October 25, 2019 at 7:47 pm

    How does it stay in though, esp when walking? Cant even keep a suppository in for a minute. CIA knows something I dont.

  28. Andrey Kitsen on October 25, 2019 at 7:47 pm

    disappointed… thought they’d show a demo

  29. Youtube Channel on October 25, 2019 at 7:48 pm

    so the tools themselves are never explained. Pretty much no new information in the video outside of what you can guess by the title.

  30. Black Sheep on October 25, 2019 at 7:48 pm

    Does it have to be black

  31. Cristobal Barrera on October 25, 2019 at 7:49 pm

    Do they put it up there

  32. natalie琪琪_ on October 25, 2019 at 7:50 pm

    what if you loose it?

  33. Kirby Waite on October 25, 2019 at 7:53 pm

  34. Jonnie Rose on October 25, 2019 at 7:54 pm

    What are you going to do when your captors want a cavity search?

  35. Dirt Rusty on October 25, 2019 at 7:54 pm

    You should see the vagina tool kit. It has power tools inside.

  36. Born Again on October 25, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    Hey people. This item for Emergencies and unforseen events. Also it is similar to the ‘Official one ‘ which is only 4"1/2 in length and is opened by unscrewing the middle of it.This is because the human rectum is only 4"1/2 in length. Also we the CIA. Took this into account when we designed it.As well the original idea came from the French Guiana prisoner named Pappillon. Who also wrote a book called Pappillon. People have been doing that for centuries. We acquire lot’s of INFORMATION from convicts and other sources. The CIA Rectal Escape Kits is not "Official’…as shown in the video. I know. I’ve been studying the intelligence agencies for quite some time now and that’s a fact. Some of what the Technology and Research Department does is so advanced that it borders on Science fiction.

  37. Ronnie Foshee on October 25, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    Invented in the county jail. lol

  38. Amy Sternheim on October 25, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    Since it’s so large, does that mean recruits must have large ass holes? LOL

  39. I am Blue on October 25, 2019 at 7:55 pm

    If you gotta  do a poo . Put it back . Then wash your hands .

  40. Zeem on October 25, 2019 at 7:56 pm

    The girth alone, Me and so many others could be spies

  41. Mike Woodson on October 25, 2019 at 7:57 pm

    Nope! Not for me.

    Imagine what was issued to some of the female’s?

    I withdraw my application! No thanks.

  42. Photon on October 25, 2019 at 7:57 pm

    I wonder what it smells like .

  43. Павел Исаев on October 25, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    Выходит что, каждый сотрдуник ЦРУ носит такой набор в заднице постоянно, на случай провала? Теперь я знаю, как отличить ЦРУ-шника от обычного гражданина. Нужен ректальный досмотр.

  44. PyroRob69 on October 25, 2019 at 7:59 pm

    Just goes to show that the govt thinks your rectum is just another pocket to carry tools in.

  45. aryan bhaskar on October 25, 2019 at 7:59 pm

    This guy is trying, really trying, to keep a straight face while explaining ’bout it.

  46. babalon 777 on October 25, 2019 at 7:59 pm

    Does it rattle when you shake your ass?

  47. Ebony on October 25, 2019 at 8:00 pm

    That’s really big 😳

    I’m confused. So, you’re on a mission and you get to a door, it’s locked, "oh good, I have my tool kit." So … just the logistics of then retrieving the tools as you stand at this door (in this scenario)?? Would that not attract attention? 🤔
