I read in Bischoff's book how people would cross the street when they saw the wrestlers coming as they toward over most of the population, and I believe in a shoot interview Scott Norton was questioned by police after he made a negative remark about North Korea when he was talking to his wife on the phone. I think he said they cut the line and were at his door seconds after he said it.

@eddiegfan22 I was about to post the exact same thing, I'm surprised he wasn't given a memo.

Poor Chas Skaggs; trying his best to get anything out of the erie, stone-faced Koreans. He should've talked to Christopher Hitchens about how, when a foreigner is in North Korea, you're not even allowed to look Koreans in the eye on the street.
