FBI Lab Used for Gadgets and Private Gains
The FBI laboratory in Washington was sometimes diverted from criminal analysis to develop gadgets. Clyde Tolson is linked to patenting a fail safe system for opening and closing windows in 1966 1967 and 1969 with improvements. Tolson was also tied to a bottlecap opener deemed a flop. Some projects were gifted to friends of the bureau and lab funds were used to modify Hoover's home. Former officials call the practice an abuse of power fueling corruption probes.
