"WILSON" was the basketball Tom Hanks talked to in a movie. "PUTIN" is the soccer ball he gave to Comrade Bonespur. Is it miked/wired?

A wiser person than the Comrade would cut it open and under circumstances have it anywhere it could pick up conversations. Putin is KGB. (Once KGB  ALWAYS KGB even if KGB changes its name) Once a spy always a spy. Once you murder you will always be a murderer.
