Above all, surveillance should not be taken without the knowledge of a citizen. Robert Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker, reports that the government has access to see everything citizens are doing, but they claim they do not have this privilege (Cartoon Surveillance). There is no need for the government to see the domestic actions of citizens, especially without their knowledge. ACLU claims people with no suspicion are under surveillance while they are doing nothing wrong. Citizens do not know they are being watched because there is no probable cause for them to be watched (NSA’s Surveillance).

Even though it is Beth’s plan, each conspirator does not answer directly to her, but rather they follow in a sequence. Each person deals with the person before them.

Pharmaceutical products require various types of organic chemical. There are a number of chemical suppliers present in the market.
