I am reminded by this of my trip to the National Crypto Museum on NSA's campus, north of DC. It's a real treat if you're a geek, what with the old hardware and crypto devices, but one of the pieces there is a picture. The picture was mailed to a US senator as a gift from children, who had supposedly painted it. However, during a later bugsweep, it turned out that the frame contained a radio device, and had transmitted endlessly since its hanging. I remember thinking how perfectly the gift had been designed, how innocuous the packaging, and how cleverly the delivery mechanism. With regard to the cost to secret price ratio, I'm going out on a limb to say that as a non-threat to the nation, I'd happily pay a thousand dollars to see what ACTUALLY goes on behind closed doors of high ranking political officials. I can only imagine how much more worthwhile it would be if I had my freedom riding on it.
