``According to the former head of Romania's secret police, Ion Mihai Pacepa, there had been ten million microphones in a country of twenty-three million people. That would mean that nearly everyone had been listened to and then blackmailed into listening and reporting on others. A maze of psychic tunnels led from one person to another.'' [Andrei Codrescu, "The Hole In The Flag", pp. 21-22]
