When you think CIA, one of last words likely to come to mind is "open." And yet the U.S. spy organization has begun to lift the lid-- albeit ever so slightly--in a bid to cultivate public support. In fact, the agency recently launched a retooled Web site, complete with YouTube and Flickr channels.
The following images include some of the mementos that the agency is now sharing with the public for the first time. If you thought James Bond had cool tech toys, get a load of stuff like this silk escape and evasion map printed with waterproof dyes just in case the map ever got wet.
