- sonofdigg2, on 12/31/2008, -3/+26Whenever I read one of these "spy" articles I immediately assume that this is really a "how insecure guys and girls can stalk their significant others" article

- V1ncent, on 01/01/2009, -1/+141. Hold finger slightly above phone
2. Lower finger forcibly down - TheScreamer, on 01/01/2009, -1/+10I work for a phone company. In the network. Switching & transport. I have full, unrestricted access to the frame, the switch and all cross-connect nodes. It is un-f***-ing-believable how easy it is to listen in on conversations. I can think of 3 separate ways I can listen in on a specific phone line right now, and I could do it completely undetected. And here's the kicker... I've only been in this line of work for 2 months.
Good thing I have a strong work ethic. - pijalu, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7shoppingkart is actually right: http://www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=60 ... ;-)
- Seifey, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7Probably.
- Metatron197, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5Why yes, it is.
- JuanBSU, on 01/01/2009, -0/+4This comment was the stupidest thing anyone will EVER see.
- nealparr, on 01/01/2009, -0/+4It's just a speaker phone.
- DJMajickman, on 01/01/2009, -0/+4Yeah I love the rotory dial phone in the ad. What is this from the 1950's before laws against wire tapping?
- windmarble, on 01/01/2009, -1/+5Next we need: How to tap an ass.
- charlietuna, on 01/01/2009, -0/+4Inductive tap (split/resplit are the best)
http://www.unterzuber.com/tap.html - sudopeople, on 01/01/2009, -0/+3No. The first commenter thought the same thing, and he expressed his thought in a much funnier manner.
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -1/+4Yeah that's why I only use cellphones.... oh, wait.
- ExRe, on 01/01/2009, -1/+4Laws against wiretapping? That's never stopped anyone before (including our government who made the laws).
- xerox, on 01/01/2009, -0/+3you wanted to read an article about how to tap on an iphone?
- TMTurtle, on 01/01/2009, -1/+4Step 1: Get it drunk.
- Vektuz, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2There's a MUCH easier way, just get the telcom's in bed with your plan to tap and have them just send you their customers calls. Or better yet, have them allow you to install your own equipment on the main trunk. Oh wait, they already did.
- gkiltz, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2I can talk about this now, because the Statute of Limitations has run out on it, but back in the 1960s, I moved from the Midwest to the south, to a place that was on General Telephone.
General Telephone was never the Bell System in more ways than one. I'm not even sure if this was actually illegal at the time. I was about 7 or 8 at the time!
This was before the modern NID, and the side of the house was a simple connector block, where the overhead wiring ind the internal wiring met. That block was on the side of the house where there was a storage room with no drywall right through the siding. No insulation either, it was, after all the South in the 1960s. I was able to make a small hole right behind the block, and run a pair of wires into the storage room. I actually had a small open-reel tape recorder that was widely available cheap in those days. I would senak in there when no one was looking. I would plug it in, and hook up to the phone line. There was a way to set it to it was on, and the circuits were "hot" but the tape reels were not moving. I would listen in to my heart's content. I knew every phone call my house got, and I recorded some of them. If a kid my age could get into his own line that easily, think how trivially easy it must have been for a corrupt politician or cop to get into ANY line!! - ronjohnson, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2Just like Dick Tracy used too.
- fatTJ, on 01/01/2009, -1/+3NSA...
- Barackalypse, on 01/01/2009, -1/+31. Obtain warrant
Err, wait, no, Step 1: Order telco to perform wiretap
Step2: Get Congress to grant telcom's immunity for the warrantless wiretaps you ordered - krc1, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2Wow, the Moeller Flying Car made the cover back then.
- fant0m, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1What's your point?!
- Spoomeister, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1Why bother tapping your phone when I can already read your email?
- Rivetgeek, on 01/01/2009, -3/+4god you fail so hard.
It goes:

Freekin kids these days. - digichris, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1"This will come in handy when some relative..."
Fill in the rest! - mredamon, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1you obviously did not read the article
- bubba9999, on 01/01/2009, -2/+3I love how the commenters are arguing about legality based on phrasing that was valid 50 years ago.
- yournightmare, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1It helps if you either tap into your bank account or tap a keg first.
- etx313, on 01/01/2009, -1/+2Power user
- yournightmare, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1That's not right, either. It goes:
Well, excuse me Doug E. Fresh. - livefromheaven, on 01/01/2009, -1/+2Very similar procedure so I hear

(they all talk about The Savior's stance on wire-tapping) - Danls92, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1Alternatively, fingers work rather well.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+1Work ethic? Or decent morals?
- qber, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1Or just click Next.
- srg13, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1Nobody cares if you leave. Good riddance, really.
- xaeon, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1Inspector gadget? I 'ardly know 'er.
- teamgwho, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1the easiest way to record a phone call legally is to put the call on speakerphone and then use any sort of recording device, even a camcorder. once on speaker you lose all right to privacy. you are tape recording what is going on in the room and if you happen to be able to record what the other person is saying, oh well. too bad for them.
- TheLastEskimo, on 01/01/2009, -1/+1Do phones even have transformers in them anymore?
- ItsMyWii, on 01/01/2009, -1/+1Just like in the Pentagon!
- dkreezy, on 01/29/2009, -0/+0"[...] get the telcom's in bed [...]" hey now, the articles about tapping the phone, not the service provider.
