...Court, Indiana Senator Birch Bayh became so disturbed over an inexplicable strategy and information leak that he called in an expert to examine his office for listening devices. The expert "swept" Bayh's office-the same suite occupied by Richard Nixon when he was a Senator-with a detector and picked up blips from beneath the floor. The floor was pounded until the blips ceased, but Bayh decided against bringing in jackhammers to tear up the concrete to retrieve the dead bug. During his years in the White House, Lyndon Johnson spiced his private conversations with such intimate disclosures...
...invasion route. Situated about 70 miles north of the Mexican border, the San Clemente beach had always provided an excellent detour around the Government checkpoints on the freeway northward. Now the beach is manned by dozens of Secret Service agents with infra-red lenses and every kind of detector imaginable. One night last week four illegal migrants were spotted on the beach by a snoop scope. But rather than turn on the floodlights and wake up the Nixons, the Secret Service men silently chased down the Mexicans...
...subconscious, operating solely on a stimulus-response basis. It records engrams, or painful memories, which are subject to constant re-stimulation. These engross carry an electrical charge, which is removed by the auditing process.

Free Press, former Scientologist William Burroughs mentions his twenty-three hour ordeal of a Security Check, carried out on a lie detector-at Burrough's expense! He also describes the penalties for crimes against Scientology: "a student must wear a gray rag around his arm, may not bathe, shave or change clothes, must remain on the premises, must perform manual work, deliver a paralyzing blow to the enemy, admit his errors...
...employees and reported revenues last year of $2,100,000. Spreading out, I.B.I, has already sold franchises in Miami and Minneapolis. Like many security companies, it goes in for all varieties of protection -uniformed guards, undercover detectives, police dogs, electronic alarms, armored cars and lie-detector service. It also has a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to teach security techniques to 250 trainees, many of whom were hard-core unemployed...
