Hi-tech covert kit for spies

UK's domestic intelligence agency, MI5, is about to appoint its own Q, with a job advert to recruit a chief scientific adviser.

BBC News has learned that the appointment is intended to assist MI5 in harnessing developments in science and technology that will help the service combat terrorism and support field officers in counter-intelligence activities.
