The folks at Information Unlimited (the ones that advertise in the back of all the Popular Electronics, etc magazines) have been selling a kit to do this for years. They call it a "laser listener". Simple diode laser + optics + receive amplifier. Catches the vibrations of the window due to speech inside the office (and it *does* work). Look here : http://www.amazing1.com/laser-listener.htm You can get a kit that'll do 500' range for $349 or fully assembled for $499. /mike. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
