Quick question(s): for how long did the program recruit new agents, and what was the minimum/maximum age that were tested? Oh and can the government keep watch on when an ability is used (some form of radar that picks up disturbances in "force")?

Project Deimos has been in effect since 1962 (following the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the very real threat of nuclear warfare), and there weren't any 'tested', Lassus-powered individuals were being monitored prior to the projects actual activation as a matter of national security on both sides, and were simply approached when it was officially active. 

The government monitors Teplee using a series of civilian informants (that's why everyone is on such a fat paycheck, they're keeping Teplee a secret and occasionally reporting back to the government whenever a disturbance surfaces.)
