Operation SANTA

Every year on C-Day, mysterious agents from the North begin a massive infiltration effort. Nobody seems to mind.

From command and control at the North Pole to secret manufacturing facilities in China and Eastern Europe, from the Pacific shipping lanes to the deployment of domestic-access operatives, Santa owns the silent night. With NSA surveillance tech, they see you when you're sleeping, and they know when you're awake. They know when you've been bad or good — thanks to algorithms that make Google look like Pong. You better not shout. You better not cry. Operation Santa is coming to town.

Or so says the December 2007 Wired magazine. Mouse over the graphic for the details. And listen to this NPR interview.
