sign on the inside of the apartment said "YOU CAN HELP IMPROVE SECURITY BY DENYING ACCESS TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW". which is technically true.

there's a modest young man from Kansas who's the best torturer in the world. his method is based on psychic transference and empathic resonances. first, he sets up an empathic resonance between him and the subject. second, he puts himself in a large amount of pain, which is transferred to the subject via the empathic link. third, he increases the pain they feel until the subject breaks (he has a freakishly high pain tolerance).

this method has obvious disadvantages, which is why he only does it to Stop Terrorism.
