Defense Security Service Report Statement on Canadian Coins Incorrect,
01/12/2007
A statement in the 2006 Defense Security Service Technology Collection
Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry report which claimed radio
frequency transmitters were discovered embedded in Canadian coins is
not true, according to DSS officials.
This statement was based on a report provided to DSS. The allegations,
however, were found later to be unsubstantiated following an
investigation into the matter.
According to DSS officials, the 2006 annual report should not have
contained this information. The acting director of the DSS directed an
internal review of the circumstances leading up to the publication of
this information to prevent incidents like this from reoccurring.
The 2006 DSS Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry
report was published by DSS in June 2006. As part of its oversight
responsibilities under the National Industrial Security Program, the
DSS receives reports from U.S. cleared defense industry to enhance
overall security awareness in cleared industry.
