I used to work on a military base. There were three different Chinese restaurants within a mile and a half of the front gate. All run by folks of East Asian descent, with barely more than a dozen sentences of English between them. Also, in one of them, I'm pretty certain I saw a satellite phone.

Maybe they were all just folks looking to make a better life in the States. But, I'm willing to bet that at least one of those folks was phoning home with over heard secrets.
