Can the NSA really do that? Um, yes. Join me at the movies to take a close look at how current technology has caught up with the spy gadgets dreamed up for Hollywood flicks- from old favorites like Brazil to newer additions like Bourne and Dark Knight. Jaunty tin foil hats and movie snacks will be provided!
