Ten charged as Russian spies

The report at the link below says this caper was right out of a B-movie with the alleged spies using invisible ink and coded talk.

Reminds me of the spy kit I got in the mail for breakfast cereal box tops. I was in the fourth grade and fancied myself an international spy.

From the Russian spy report:

Eight of 10 were arrested Sunday for allegedly carrying out long-term, deep cover assignments in the United States on behalf of Russia.

Two others were arrested for allegedly participating in the same Russian intelligence program within the United States.

Each of the 10 was charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison on conviction.
