I have it on questionable authority that the CIA has now incorporated "The Little Drummer Boy" and "All I Want For Christmas Is You" into its interrogation protocol. Been known to break the resistance of the strongest miscreant especially when accompanied by the incessant "beeping" of a scanner.

Why quotation marks around "'beeping'"?

The CIA uses simulated scanner "beeping." That work for you?

Huh? Wouldn't that then be "the incessant beeping of a 'scanner'"?

Geesh, do I have to explain everything about a fictional scenario. The interrogated believes it is a scanner because of the simulated "beeping." Know nothing about fictional interrogations I see. But you have my permission to copy the comment and put quotes around anything you like. Surely there's a dependent clause somewhere that requires your immediate attention.

All I know is that it sounds like the scanner is fictional but the beeping is real. But: whatever, dude.

Since I once had that job, I would include a song from the 90's. "I want it all, and I want it now." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFd852kLOOA

It ought to keep a person awake long enough to want to cooperate.
