[IsraelTimes] Agency says man, who has family in Israel, was instructed by Iran’s security services to spy on various targets in country; was given empty tissue box to hide spy tech

A Jewish Iranian man was questioned at Ben Gurion Airport and deported on Friday over suspicions of attempting to carry out espionage on behalf of Iranian intelligence, Israel’s Shin Bet security agency said.

The man, who has relatives in Israel, was detained by Shin Bet agents early Friday morning upon landing, the service said. The agency claimed that the man admitted to being in Israel to spy for Tehran and was promptly sent back to Iran

#3  That’s what happens, Otto Gurly-Brown9938, when a civilian is blackmailed into attempting work properly left to the professionals. One hopes, honestly, that the Iranian spy agency was testing the system rather than so incredibly inept as to mean this to be a serious attempt. Truly, a tissue box hiding a variety of James Bond tools — how could they expect that not to be noticed when he arrived at Ben Gurion airport
