*On the Action figure for the Boys of Silence the clothes look too small for the person, especially the pants. Given that their uniforms are all but synonymous with school uniforms it isn't much of a jump to guess that they wore those clothes for a very long time from an early age. Add in Columbia's extreme nationalism would it really be out of the question for them to be kids taken off the street? Paralleling the Handymen's former crippled nature.

On top of the fact that they were acting without authorization but claiming to represent the US, it's easy to see how even a Jingo Moralist like he would've wanted to reign them in.

** This might just be a cool coincidence, or reference to the modern day: stores in the U.S. have been using "Code ADAM" as a code for missing children since 1994. Still a nice touch, though.

* Bioshock Infinite: It's implied in the full E3 Playthrough recently put out on the Xbox 360 Video Marketplace that Songbird only feels two things - rage, and the absence of it brought on by protecting Elizabeth. So, hopefully, Songbird's not exactly... inclined towards... ''that''. Unfortunately, the two warring factions are elitist snobs taken to their logical conclusion, and BombThrowingAnarchists. Both of whom she will be spending a lot of time around... and being attacked by. What would happen to her if Booker (i.e. you) weren't around doesn't bear thinking about.
