Remember the scene in *Star Wars* where the troops are conducting a
house-to-house search of the city, and the robots see them coming
and lock the door?  When the troops get to the door, they knock,
then one says, ``This one's locked, go on to the next.''  It seems
a bit odd for a totalitarian state to be stopped by a locked door....
