#2 He probably would be smart enough to use a cut-out.

That's what all those criminal gangs are _for_.

He's increaced control at all levels of society. Why do the criminal gangs still exist? Well, by making people insecure in their homes/belongings/persons, they're doing his bidding, creating the sort of society he wants.

More people are dying in Venezuela from "random criminal acts" than from an allegedly centrally run terrorist campaign in Iraq. It's distributed anarcho-tyrrany. (And no, Pappy, I don't think this was the state of nature that Hobbes was talking about. Or maybe I misunderstand, and need to read more Hobbes.)
