This two-part series of articles will discuss the current threat to our privacy from bugging, wiretapping and other electronic surveillance. Emphasis will be on defense techniques and equipment, directed at both the end user and resellers of such protection. Myths will be dispelled, scams will be discussed. An overview of equipment and techniques used will be given, with the objective of teaching a prospective user how properly to evaluate and purchase eavesdropping countermeasures. Electronic invasions of privacy are not uncommon. I wouldn't doubt that in Baltimore, the nearest big city, there are 50 to 100 illegal operations being conducted, and maybe a very few legitimate ones. Realize, though, that none of us active in this field could possibly have any direct knowledge as to the extent of illegal attacks, although we can extrapolate based on what we have seen. I guess now would be as good a time as any to define, for the purposes of these articles, what we will mean by legitimate (legal) vs. illegal eavesdropping.
