CAIRO — An advertisement broadcast on Egyptian television this week warned a talkative public not to open up to foreign visitors, in case their new friends turn out to be spies seeking to undermine the state.
The commercial, which appeared on both state-controlled and private channels with no indication of who was behind it, struck several Egyptian observers as a heavy-handed attempt to cast the dissatisfaction of many young revolutionaries with Egypt’s halting transition and the military council that still holds power as unpatriotic.
A version of the advertisement posted on YouTube with a rough English translation shows three young Egyptian activists in a cafe freely sharing their discontent over the nation’s economic and political problems with a mysterious foreigner, who takes notes on a mobile phone as ominous music swells.

So, they went from seclusion and radical islam governed by a dictator.
To seclusion and radical islam masquerading as democracy.
They actually voted for radical islamists to govern them.
They're worse off than when they started! same bullshit, only sprinkled by the illusion of freedom.
These people aren't ready for the responsibility of democracy.

A good sign that paranoid nuts have taken over the country.
You'd think women were given equal footing in the country such is their concern that they might be taken advantage of by foreign spies.

Spy phobia is only found in a state with dirty little secrets to hide.
