Honey traps, an espionage tool, is as old as the world. Remember Delilah and her role in Samson's downfall? The beauty trap, also called the 'honey pot', is one of the 36 stratagems in Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War'. Then there was Mata Hari, the Chinese "M. Butterfly", the Stasi's Romeos and the KGB's swallows, (among the latter are Anna Chapman and Marina Butina in the latest news). Finding news on MI6 and CIA's honeypots is not as easy, but there are some out there. And here, as with all espionage actors, ours are brilliant agents and theirs are despicable spies :)
