Cautionary Tale: Secreted Cell Phones

UK - Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has laughed off the moment sex noises transmitted by a YouTube prankster disrupted the show's live coverage.

Noises from a porn clip were heard as Lineker presented pre-match build-up before the Wolves v Liverpool fixture.

A frenzied studio hunt uncovered a planted mobile phone - and YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis claimed he was behind the stunt on Tuesday's show. The BBC apologised to any viewers who were offended.

But Lineker, who later tweeted a picture of the mobile phone he said was "taped to the back of the set", said he thought there was nothing to apologise for. Calling it a "good prank", he said: "As sabotage goes it was quite amusing." more

In another environment a hidden cell phone could well have been used as an eavesdropping bug. 

We're not talking expensive iPhones here. Cheap, mini-sized phones can do the job too. Short-term, quick-drop, and expendable. Another good reason to conduct Technical Surveillance Countermeasures inspections in corporate offices and conference rooms.
