An interception device will stick out like dogs balls. Whoever wants to tap my line is going to have to build a tower.
Depends upon how paranoid you want to be. A small radio-controlled helicopter is available cheaply at Radio Shack, and might even be capable of holding a receiver, re-transmitter and recorder.
If I wanted to intercept a laser beam I'd spray an aerosol mist into the beam and look at the scatter. On a dusty or humid day I might not need the aerosol. Why not just encrypt the link? Then anyone can tap and it doesn't matter. I'm in the process of building a tightbeam microwave link that can carry 2 Mbps over 50Km. Anybody got any gunn transceivers they don't need?
