Yeah. Back in the days in Poland, when communism was still 'live and well', every typewriter was registered. Also, phone calls were monitored, but at least they had the courtesy to play a message "calls are monitored" before each call.

Probably meant they didn't actually have the resources to monitor all calls, so they were requesting people to not plot rebellions on the phone.

Now we're richer than that.
