Martin L. Kaiser, Inc. was established in 1965 to service all industrial companies in the Baltimore area. One day, the author made a wrong turn after leaving the American Brewery, his favorite customer. He found himself in front of Fort Holabird, the training center for Army intelligence - and the next thing he knew, he was in the spy business. Kaiser began manufacturing intelligence equipment (bugs) and counterintelligence equipment (bug detectors), working with virtually every intelligence agency in the country, including the FBI. One day I passed by an agent's desk and saw one of his invoices had been marked up 150%. Investigators were sent to all known manufacturers of bugging equipment, which led to the author sitting before the House Select Committee to explain the relationship he had with a phony front. The turn of events led him to lose all of his intelligence agency work, which eventually led him to close his business. Join the author as he reveals how he built an incredibly successful enterprise and how it all slipped into a tailspin when he ran afoul of the FBI.
