The making and drinking of alcohol had to be done in the ex-pat compounds. Woe betide you if caught drunk on the streets by the religious police. I would think it was eminently sensible to assume that they monitored mail and telephone calls in the past. They recently lifted the ban on Skype and WhatsApp but you can be sure they are being monitored. Although not sure how they can break the encryption on messaging apps.

well this is all interesting...
KSA and USA are a Special Relationship. Its paid off for both. Keep it that way.
To Trumps credit the first trip he took was to KSA to undo the damage to relations done by Obama.
Plus you got bin Salman's reforms -not that I expect a liberal democracy,but it appears to this non-traveler
that KSA is on a better track.
