Collins http://home.sprintmail.com/~rigoletto/reports/nsa_snooper_bugs.ht m 2-17-2000 UPDATE The NSA's Snooper Bugs Last October, 1999, one of my sources found a small black stubby device attached to the phone lines going to his computer at work: He also found one of these devices attached to the phone lines on the outside of his father's house in Albuquerque. Since my source has excellent connections to people in the state of New Mexico he was able to verify the identity of two NSA people who had moved into an apartment down the street from his father's house. As soon as those NSA people knew they had been identified they "flew the coop" as they say. Source's own NSA people have look at at these stubby devices and said they were made by NSA. The devices are short ~ 2 inches long and black with a small antenna, having two lady size wristwatch batteries and two wires with alligator clips to attach to a phone line (see figure at bottom): The device transmits in a frequency range of 1.4 to 4 MHz and has a range of one mile where the signal is received by a local receiving station. The obvious question would be why NSA et al go through all the trouble of planting phone bugs when there are so many other ways to intercept email or phone calls: The answer I was given is that it's much easier to have a dedicated "tap" rather than try and sort through thousands of emails or phone calls to find yours and then to formally request that information. The dedicated "tap" goes right to the people who want the information. Please see NSA Phone Tap for the time in 1998 when we traced the "tap" on the home phone line in Tucson, Az all the way back to NSA at Ft Meade. -- Kathleen Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguishe d period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery. - Thomas Jefferson.
