Sex, Spies and Scandal

Spy agencies have always used alluring women to coax secrets from smitten men, setting so-called "honeytraps." The famed Mata Hari was executed in France in 1917 on charges of spying for Germany during WWI. Some of her alleged sexual conquests were French and German officials, with whom she traded secrets. Hari was later proven to be a German agent, but may have been a double agent. (Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
