I liked the part telling you that satellites can record your conversations from space by bouncing lasers off of your windows. And the part advising you to bring along any police dogs you might happen to kill, to keep from leaving evidence. And the part that gives "assistant to elderly Navajos" as a top employment opportunity. Wonderfully imaginative, if nothing else.

Yes, you're told to kill unescorted police dogs, not by strangling them, as that would take too much strength, but by lifting them off the ground and shaking them until their neck breaks. I look over at the 85lb American Bulldog next to me and can't conceive of many people being able to pull that one off. (The preferable way, of course, being to drive a knife through the dog's braincase. (wtf?))

AFAIK, sound can be recorded using laser reflections on windows, but not I imagine from space, where there would be too much atmospheric interference. I also imagine that single glazing would help.
Not only that, but there needs to be some way to detect the bounced beam -- implying a ridiculous degree of accuracy in the placement of the satellite, the smoothness of the glass, and the strength of the laser.
