Apparently there is a conspiracy theory making the rounds about the Federal government putting cameras into these boxes. Low and behold, Adam finds one in his! Of course, he later admits that it was hoax but, there are those who say that this admitted-hoax is actually a smokescreen for the real thing. Believe.
