Back in 2002 time-frame, I worked with two Arkansas Nat'l Guard guys....doing 90-day duty in Germany.
It came up one day....we were talking about how naive folks were in Arkansas, and the two brought the 'pill-story'.
A year or two prior.....some guy spoke of his secret-duty....working for the CIA (yes, in the middle of Arkansas) and how the agency had a pill that you could swallow....that would take 'readings' of you gut. It would be transmitted to a CIA satellite passing over each night.
Two or three local folks were interested in the technology.
The guy mentioned....for about $200....he could procure a 90-day pill for them....from the CIA sales staff.
A couple of folks handed over $200 each, and he provided this extra-large pill (probably a cattle-or-horse vitamin).
They'd call this guy up, and he'd check on his secret laptop.....what the pill noted....giving the folks a description.
This went on for 90 days....when he said the pill was no longer sold (fearing he'd eventually get into sheriff trouble).
I asked if this were the 'norm' for the state, and both felt five-percent of the folks were that stupid in beliefs.
