WASHINGTON: An Ohio family of five recently went undercover in the nation's capital to help foil a cyber "terrorist attack." Their attire wasn't very suspicious: Shorts, T-shirts and jackets tied around their waists.
They were playing a new game at the International Spy Museum that sends tourists trolling through the city with handheld GPS devices to search for clues and codes to stop the attack before it starts.
The game, called Spy in the City, was developed by former intelligence officers who want to teach the public a bit about their craft.
