time can ease the restrictions on some secrets
Children of CIA agents:
“Mom said: ‘Don’t ever get on that phone. When I am on it, get away,’ ” said Sullivan, whose office staff greets callers with a chirpy “Hello, irregular warfare.” “The notes my mom would keep, she kept in a safe. Now, the safe is gone.”
His younger brother Jimmy Sullivan, however, recalled picking up the Spy Phone when playing video games with friends. “We’d be playing Atari, and we’d listen in,” he said. “Or we’d pick up, and it’d be some dude in German ranting and raving.”
