A story from Michael:

My dad was part of an intelligence unit in Korea.  He was responsible for maintaining the radios that the agents would use as they crossed over to North Korea.

But the Army, in its usual wisdom, sent him World War II surplus briefcases with radios built into them.

He couldn’t very well send agents dressed as Korean peasants into enemy territory, carrying European leather attaché cases, so he spent a lot of time taking the radios out of those and putting them into tin cans and the like.
