"Listen through walls, up to 1/2 mile away!"

• Pull conversations out of walls or floors.
• Amplify them
50,000 times.
• Broadcast them
up to 1/2 mile away.

This odd-ball little eavesdropping bug is creative mix of technologies. No need to enter someone's office or home. Just attach this thing to the floor above, ceiling below or the outside wall. Then, head to comfortable spot within a 1/2 mile range. No nearby comfortable spot? Put the receiver and a recorder in a car, and park it nearby. Return daily to pick-up your recordings.
(more)

Grab a map. Draw a 1/2 mile circle around your own home or office. How many good listening posts do you see? Maybe hundreds in a suburban environment. Definitely hundreds-of-thousands in a city.

When was the last time you had a professional debugging inspection?

Need a quick example... Go to Google Maps; search for Dearing, KS. The distance between 2200 Road and 2000 Road is exactly one mile. The listening post could be anywhere in this town!

Could we find this bug?
Of course.
