Line 14:
* Trope subverted on the ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' episode "Pirated" where the militia leader threatens how his movement is everywhere and growing. The detectives respond that they are investigating every connection he has and expect a wave of arrests of his cronies in short order, which we see happening in a flurry of images as the police swoop in to bust the terrorists. The militia leader is left stunned to hear that his organization is being smashed so quickly.
* A variation in the same vein as this trope occured on ''Star Trek Deep Space Nine'' in the season three finale "The Adversary" where a defeated changeling who has been sneaking around the ship trying to sabotage it tells Odo that the Changelings are Everywhere.
* At the end of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' with {{spoiler|the Patriots}} seemingly all dead and their {{spoiler|AI system destroyed}}, Drebin tells Otacon that he believes the world is not truly {{spoiler|free from the influence of the Patriots}}. To prove this, he writes the name of Meryl's unit (Rat Patrol 01) in the sand and makes the letters rearrange into {{spoiler|1=PATR10T}}.
** It's actually a bit of odd [[Fridge Logic]] in that the letters don't actually form an anagram at all unless patrol is shortened to "PT" as Drebin does. PT isn't an accepted shortening of the world "patrol".
*** And the fact that a {{spoiler|Patriot-sponsored}} unit like Rat Patrol 01 would hide the name of the organization doesn't prove Drebin's point that {{spoiler|the Patriots are still controlling things}}.
