The 20/20 TV show on December 27, 2002 had a segment on Robert Hanssen, FBI spy, in which he is described as becoming sexually aroused by a National Security Agency PowerPoint presentation and stroked himself through his pants, according to Eric O'Neill, a young FBI agent who had been assigned to covertly report on Hanssens's activities. (The show transcript omits the stroking description and demonstration on camera by O'Neill.) Crypome invites information on which NSA presentation aroused Hanssen, and a copy of it for publication.
This is silly. Rather than show that Hanssen had any particular erotic reaction to part of the NSA presentation, it is vastly more likely that it shows that anyone under constant surveillance will at some point do something, perhaps out of boredom, out of daydreaming, which surveillers will note with prurient interest. "Citizen-unit Winston Smith was observed engaging in said behavior during the Thursday One Hour Preparation for the Great Hate. Suggest surveillance be increased." --Tim May
