Suspected phone tap

That is PRIMITIVE technology. Even OLD technology only needs a sensitive magnetic coil to be simply placed NEAR any of the wires bearing the calls. Could be literally anywhere. We are talking tube era technology. Today a tiny microchip could be stuck to the wire at any point and would be easily accessed remotely by satellite or radio. You haven't a prayer to find this. Just assume every thing said on the phone goes right to all the wrong people automatically.

No, I didn't. Benj just isn't very good at snipping posts to keep the necessary attribution in place.. I wrote none of the following:

The attributes aren't there and he shouldn't have left you in, but by the quote marks it's clear you didn't say anything he quoted. Though not many people will nowadays appeciate that :-(

I really enjoyed that article when it published in Spectrum. What they did was amazing, although it went far beyond a simple tap on a phone! It is not likely too many people could have pulled that off.
