But suppose the spies have also been on the course, they
would then know not to keep refering to people as "comrade".
They would be drinking coke instead of vodka, their party
armbands would have been left at home, and they would have
been carefully trained not to quote the sayings Lennin or Marx.

Of course, if the soviets were really clever, they could
always get a sleeping agent elected as a Senator.
Information could then be passed as slips of the tongue.

See what I mean...


Large numbers of :-> s should be added to the above where
appropriate.

Most of the Soviet spies who have been discovered are notable
only in just how unlikely they were to have been spies.

I don't see that the presence of a few carefully monitored
Soviet personnel is going to be much of an extra security risk.
