A US Foreign Service term for an unusual room within a room in a diplomatic mission. It has transparent plastic walls specially coated in an attempt to make bugging of conversations inside it impossible. At the time of the Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Reykjavik in 1986 the US embassy in Iceland\'s capital contained the smallest bubble that had yet been built, with capacity for only eight people. However, this did not prevent its being employed by the American team - including President Reagan - during the summit. Kenneth L. Adelman, who was inside it himself, says that they were ‘crammed in like 1950s teenagers in a telephone booth’. See also freedom of communication; listening device. |
