On page 7, the author writes: "To the FBI, every radio owner was a potential saboteur [person who engages in sabotage]". What does this tell you about how fearful the Americans were during this time period?

Radios were in almost every house in the country, this means that for the FBI almost everyone was suspect, this tell us that the level of fear they had was high.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
