| Description |
November 7, 2018, Diplomatic Security Service held the opening for the "100 Years of Diplomatic Couriers—None Swifter than These" exhibit at the U.S. Diplomacy Center. Diplomatic couriers used tan pouches to transport documents through the 1950’s. As the mission of the Diplomatic Courier Service changed and begun to include electronics and even secure construction equipment, the loads that couriers transported grew larger. Instead of one small pouch carried by hand, today’s couriers sometimes move thousands of pounds of materials at a time. The orange pouch is one of the smaller examples of the newer, larger pouches used today to transport large shipments of materials and equipment. Once the tag and seal are placed on today’s pouches, they become classified as “Top Secret.” In this particular display, the seal and tag are separated so that they can be stored here and not in a secure classified vault.
