Cell Phone Review Guide: Are You Looking For A Cell Phone?

Is Your Cell Phone Bugged?

This short video explores ways to determine if your cell phone has been compromised to act as a bug. While it’s obviously unlikely that this would happen to most people, it was recently revealed that the FBI has used this technique, and just as illicit wiretaps are possible, illicit cell phone bugging could also occur. This video is based on Lauren Weinstein’s December 2006 blog entry: “How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged”.

@usarocks911
Have to agree with VT.
You must mean Little Britain in the pacific?
Britain has lost more freedoms and is monitored more than it has ever been. The UK is the most monitored of Western nations.
DNA database, Vehicle database, tracking database, face recognition, number plate recognition, email and internet monitoring, the list keeps going on and on.
Now we have trial without jury!!
Big Brother is here. Britain is becoming a fascist state in all but name.

@usarocks911 You are in the most watched country in the world. Yes we are highly monitored here… but Britain is easily the most heavily watched country in the world.
