Friend, A 12 01 95 The Electronic Telegraph newsstory headlined Policeman bugs own station by mistake reports: ...a listening device was found at the headquarters of Lothian and Borders Police in Edinburgh. The "bug", disguised to look like a plug adaptor, picked up the day-to-day business of the operations room, including radio and telephone messages and conservations between staff. Conservations between staff? Conversations in which not a word is wasted? Its presence was discovered when staff in a rest area tried to tune a radio to a different station and picked up the voices of their colleagues. I used to despise those who couldn't keep their hands off the dial for 5 minutes, but since reading this story my attitude's been adjusted. Concerned that secrets were being transmitted abroad, the force "swept" the control room with anti-bugging technology, only to find that the device belonged to them. It had been "planted" by an officer who thought it was a real adaptor. Of course I believe that! For what comes around...goes around. Cordially, Jim NOTE.
