    In North Korea, everybody spies on everybody else. Places like that would set you up by having someone suggest doing something subversive, just to see if you report it or not.

    And you read that in a spy novel so it must be true

    No, it was standard procedure with the KGB too.

    r2varney would do well to keep eyes on the sky for one of Obama’s drones.

    And the East Germans. Have an agent befriend someone they are suspicious of. Agent suggests doing the subversive activity. Suspected citizen can agree and get arrested, do nothing and get arrested, or report it to show he is loyal. East German State Security files have shown a major part of the population spying on everyone else. You had to report any suspicious activity because you never knew if it was legit or an attempt to trap you.
