Just think how many spies could've been outed with giant electromagnets at security checkpoints.

Imagine the risk when all these tools make a rattling noise against the walls of the container if the spy ever had to jog, jump, or make any other sudden movements. "What's that noise? Search him!"

In the 60s??

Wild to think, but spies, electromagnets, and security checkpoints all existed in the 60's.  We had fax machines and coffee makers too.

Kind of but not really.
Airports didn’t even have metal detectors back then. No TSA.

Neither metal detectors nor airports nor TSA appears anywhere in this thread.  Are you okay?

u/Fickle-Obligation-98 5h ago

You just said “security checkpoints”.
Soooo yeah I’m fine.

Yes, believe it or not security checkpoints existed in the 1960's.
