Spycraft on display: A museum of CIA secrets
CBSN
The Hope Diamond, the Spirit of St. Louis, and the U.S. Constitution are just some of America's national treasures on display in Washington, D.C. Now add to that list a brick from Osama bin Laden's final hideout, and the AK-47 found by his side; flight suits worn by clandestine surveillance pilots; and a taxidermied rat, used by spies to hide messages during the Cold War.
These artifacts are among the hundreds on view at Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in suburban Virginia – on view, that is, only to those cleared to enter the high-security complex, such as CIA director William Burns, who offered a tour of "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell.
She asked, "Do we still use spy cameras?"
