So it's not just horny Canucks who are being targeted, at least.About This Game Honeypot Espionage is an online VR multiplayer shooter, focused on stealth combat, in which you are put against other Spies in a combat arena. MI5 distributed a 14-page warning to British businessmen in 2009 about avoiding Chinese honey traps. And other governments have similar guides, too. There were not foreign spies, thankfully, but the chance they were was why that scandal was such a huge deal. president's secret service did have that terrible (awesome) party in Cartagena, Colombia with those prostitutes. On one hand, not sleeping with strange foreign ladies who are a little too interested in your work as a bureaucrat or a spy seems like first-day training stuff. But abroad?! You can't trust anyone, not even the nice person serving you a pint. Back home, in the cold Canadian watering holes, bartenders are trustworthy people you can talk about state secrets with. "Never talk shop or volunteer information in front of taxi drivers, waiters and bartenders, who could be intelligence officers or informants," the guide says, according to Bronskill.

The guide covers simple advice, like only filling out the necessary information on border crossing forms, and the more complicated stuff, like not having sex with strange ladies you meet in bars. The guide stresses that espionage is "at a level equal to that seen during the Cold War," and that Canadian sources are "a valued target in the eyes of intelligence agencies," mostly because of our proximity to the U.S., Bronskill writes. The Canadian Press' Jim Bronskill obtained "Far From Home: A Travel Security Guide for Government Officials," a 2012 guide to dealing with the locals, prepared for travelling spies and government officials and written by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (Canada's CIA).
