Just step into any spy store and you will be astounded at the variety and ingenuity of what you can buy. With a few bucks and some imagination, you can live out all your James Bondian fantasies!

1. Shotgun Flashlight

You hear a sound outside your window in the middle of the night. You grab your Mag-Lite flashlight and step outside to investigate, secure in the knowledge that all you need to do is pull the grenade-type pin, push the button, and your flashlight doubles as a .410 gauge shotgun! Should you only want to take down short burglars instead of manimals, ARES Defense Systems also offers a mini Mag-Lite that fires a .380 round.

2. EyeClops Night Vision Goggles

 

If you don’t mind walking around in the dark looking like a Borg, The EyeClops Night Vision Goggles will let you see in pitch blackness up to 500 feet away, so you can catch your hubby snuggling with a heart shaped pillow or other cuddly object.

3. Biometric Security

Direct from the Get Smart Gadget Design Academy, this biometric reader scans your fingerprint in three dimensions with heat sensing likely ensuring that it’s still attached to your body and some ne’er do well hasn’t just sliced it off and is using it as a key.

4. Planon DocuPen X50

 

Live out all your 007 fantasies with this pen that scans anything you can pass it by, with full color resolution of 1200 dpi, which puts some flatbed scanners to shame. All you need to do is just pass the pen over any document and zap, it’s now in the up to 2GB memory which you can download through a retractable USB cable. That will teach her to leave love letters to the pool boy on the table!

5. The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR

 

In case the pool boy is somewhere other than by the pool, you can drive this little vehicle by remote control almost anywhere and be able to see and hear exactly what is going on. There’s even a speaker on the car linked to the microphone on the remote control which allows you to announce in loud resonant tones “Gotcha!”

6. Lazer Trip Wire

 

Want to make sure your peanut butter sandwich doesn’t get stolen when you’re in the bathroom? Hook up the Lazer Trip Wire and as soon as that evil sandwich thief tries to grab it, the loud alarm will scare him off. This thing is so cool that you even get a mean voice announcing “System Armed” when you activate it. Now if only it would come with Catherine Zeta-Jones doing the limbo around the beams…

7. Bluetooth Spy Cam

Nod your head groovin’ to the music but not too much as you are actually video recording everything that’s going on. This full-fledged spy videocam allows you to record on a 2GB memory capacity and comes with a separate 2.4 inch LCD viewer for playback. Perfect for recording those long boring lectures you snooze through.

8. Unshredder

 

Filling a big bag with shredded paper no longer equals privacy and security, as the Unshredder will simply reassemble the information on every little last piece of it… whether strip-shredded or cross-shredded. This software program can completely reassemble the original document image even if the pages have been torn by hand. I think I’m going to start burning my shredded documents: Let’s see it reconstruct ash!

9. Hammacher & Schlemmer Infrared Flashlight Cam

 

Flashlight cameras are old hat, but what about an infrared videocam flashlight? You can use the flashlight with its standard 3-watt cool white LED, then turn it off while activating 17 infrared LEDs which surround the main light, illuminating up to 13 feet away in total darkness so you can record away on its 2GB memory capacity at 30 fps 640 x 480 resolution, or up to 500 snapshots.
