The company is so secretive that, when asked for comment for this
story, it threatened VICE with legal action if we published this
article.
A surveillance vendor that works with U.S. government agencies is
marketing spying capabilities including cameras that are hidden inside
a tombstone, a baby car seat, and a vacuum cleaner.. an alarm clock,
suitable for "hotel room stings,"
The "Phantom RFID Exploitation Toolkit" lets a user clone an access
card or fob, and the so-called "Shadow" product can "covertly provide
the user with PIN code to an alarm panel," the brochure reads.

"release of the information could result in very serious jeopardy to
the lives of law enforcement and military users of the technology
RIGHT NOW IN PARTICULAR DUE TO RECENT WORLD EVENTS … the
responsibility for any resulting harm should you go ahead and assist
in the dissemination of this information to a wider public audience
will fall squarely on your shoulders"
