What surprises me with all this detailed record keeping is the sheer cost of all this -manual- security apparatus. Sure, not every resident was a 'dissident' to be monitored, but it sounds like this family had a team of ten people working their case, round the clock. I suppose a lot of the informants and plants were not paid, but forced to participate through threats, but it still seems like a staggering amount of organization at incredible cost.
