#3 Well, this got interesting.

I think our current "does funny things with undersea cables" sub is the USS Jimmy Carter. :)

For some reason the Irony Meter just went off-scale high.

#5 So, I wonder what happens when a cable maintenance crew pulls up a cable in US waters that has an atomic powered clamp around listen and record device with a tag on it that says "Property of Russian Navy" and a asset number. The inverse has happened (Russian cable, US device).
Actually, the Russkiya don't need to do that. They just read the emails.
