In case you didn't know, N. Ireland, and South Armagh, my home area have been under extraordinary levels of surveillance, and the level and amount of information gathered by the security forces (and probably all parties to the conflict) was and probably is beyond imagination. For example, years ago people would be stopped in the street and surprised to be told by the soldiers details of their homes, down to the wallpaper, just I suppose to show who was in charge.
