Here's a street view from where he works, right in the University Of
Chicago Bernard A. Mitchell  Hospital:

We see you Dr. Metz...and we see that once again, you've spent too much
of your paycheck on model aircraft.
Now you must use your cellphone to add more money to your checking
account...just like last month.
Don't think you can hide those models, doctor. We'll see where you put
them, and our operative will recover them.
BTW, you're getting low on toilet paper at home...you only have one roll
left at last check. I know you thought you had bought eight rolls just
last week, but you only bought four rolls of  Soft And Gentle, and you
know how fast those rolls go empty.
So why not a better quality of toilet paper Dr. Metz?
Oh, I see.
More money to spend on the aircraft models, right?
Yes, we know all about the monkey that rides on your back like a Aurora
King Kong model.
Our operative?
Well, there are many candidates for that, aren't there, Dr. Metz?:

Let's just say that the Japanese are very interested in any aid you may
be giving to Chinese in regards to details on 1/18th scale aircraft
models, and the Chinese are still not convinced you are not a Japanese
double agent.
Like a deadly stonefish, our operative hides himself among a sea of
smiling Asian faces, undetected by either side.
Let us also just say that for but a bit of radiological material, you
could afford both models _and_ quality toilet paper.
But the operative must for now remain a secret, known only to us of the
Special Operations Division of the Pyongyang IPMS (SODPIPMS).
I would however take that styrene chopstick you found under your pillow
this morning as as a warning to be careful where your occidental feet
tread* in times like these.
The Nichimo Ninja use that as their favored calling card.
There is no antidote for Fugu poisoning, and I suggest that you share
your lunch with all the members of your department...and note if any are
loath to eat it. ;-)

* "Tread"...a little joke on my part, for the benefit of you American
military modelers.
Not that your inferior western minds would understand the full nuances
of it.
