AVOIDING PHONE TAPS

AVOIDING PHONE TAPS
BY: SHAWN DAVIS


WHEN YOU WANT TO AVOID PHONE TAPS ON YOUR LINE,
one of the things you need to do is get a bug
sweeper. these devices can help you find phone
TAPS IN YOUR HOME THAT MAY BE ALLOWING OTHERS TO
get information that you do not want them to
have. regular bug sweeping with devices that you
CAN EASILY FIND AND BUY OVER THE INTERNET ARE
key to ensuring that your confidential phone
conversations remain confidential.

it is important to note, however, that there are
other ways to avoid phone taps. most
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES HAVE HAD TO MAKE IT
easier for law enforcement to tap phones since
1994 and the passing of the law known as calea.
GETTING VOIP SERVICE OVER THE INTERNET WILL
protect you to a certain extent for the time
being, although a recent fcc ruling demands that
VOIP PROVIDES START BUILDING IN EASIER THIRD
party access.

SO, WHILE YOU CAN PROBABLY DETECT PHONE BUGS
from the likes of amateur spies, bounty hunters,
and some private investigators, detecting phone
TAPS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT IS A LITTLE TRICKIER.
part of this problem is that they use hardwired
solutions for their surveillance. this means
THAT THEY TAP INTO THE PHONE LINE AND CREATE A
physical bridge to their location. they can
listen in without being near your house.

cell phones might be able to help you avoid
phone taps, if you use them to make the
IMPORTANT AND CONFIDENTIAL CALLS OUT OF YOUR
area. however, when in the vicinity of your cell
phone, these are actually the easiest calls to
INTERCEPT. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN
using a cell phone to discuss sensitive
information, as it is possible for nearly anyone
TO HEAR IT IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS,
inadvertently or on purpose. in any case, it is
very difficult to avoid phone taps by law
ENFORCEMENT OR MILITARY PERSONNEL BECAUSE OF THE
nature of how they tap a phone.

BUT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT DETECT BUGS FROM LAW
enforcement, it is still worth your while to
invest in some counter surveillance bug
SWEEPERS. THIS WAY YOU CAN STILL AVOID REVEALING
information when someone else is trying to nail
you by using phone taps.
