The Great Fear of people who use telephones to conduct their business (private
or professional) is that someone is listening in, taking notes, recording.
It's a concern that has allowed some very rough laws to be put into place, and
it's a central theme of these files. They tell you how to bug telephones or
rooms, get in the way of electronic transmissions, and they even touch on
some of the politics behind this method of information gathering.
Of course, it should be noted that not everyone out there wiretapping is a
private citizen.
