Slice
From Shredded Docs to Pizza Box
Our erstwhile Queens correspondent traveled to D.C. a couple weeks ago to visit the International Spy Museum for a story on AmericanHeritage.com.
Ever the sleuth, she uncovered the following pizza-related fact:
The International Spy Museum claims that 10,000 members of the intelligence community work within a block of its Washington location. The number seems a little high to me; it would probably implicate everyone from bored security guards to the employees of the local pizzeria. But since the museum also reveals that 40,000 pounds of shredded documents from the National Security Agency are recycled into pizza boxes at a time, maybe we should all be more suspicious of seemingly innocent bystanders and their packages.
The nonpizza-related material is fascinating as well, so click through (link below) and investigate thoroughly.
