ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE COUNTER MEASURES (Eavesdropping- Detection)

Electronic eavesdropping - the planting of bugs and taps - is one of the more unsavory growth industries of the decade. It is easy to understand why. Information is the key to success in the business, diplomatic and political worlds. Unlike other assets, once information is lost it cannot easily be retrieved or replaced.

Eavesdropping may not be nice, but it gets niftier all the time. From gleaming electronics factories and grubby back-street workshops has come an every-subtler array of surveillance instruments to penetrate the individual's privacy. The devices are now so easy to plant and so hard to detect that their likely victims lovers or diplomats, criminals or key executives can seldom be wholly sure any more that confidential conversations are not being overheard or recorded with eavesdropping devices. Adversaries can snoop with bugs hidden in hat bands or ballpoint pens. They wire executive suites, washrooms, bedrooms.

Many police forces have elaborate electronic departments. Clandestine eavesdropping has featured increasingly in big-time legal battles, including the Bobby Baker hearings in Washington and Frank Sinatra Jr.'s kidnapping case. Not too unhappily, Andrew J. Palermo, chief investigator for Boston's Central Service Bureau, allows: Nobody is safe anywhere.

Scientific snooping is not new, but it has been virtually transformed in the past decade by the transistor and its relatives, which can be made almost invisibly minute. A practical radio transmitter with battery and microphone today may be as small as a lump of sugar and yet powerful enough to send a message several hundred feet.

Thanks to the cold war, corporate rivalries and Big Crime not to mention old-fashioned marital jealousy curiosity has build a fat-cat industry. The Federal Government alone is believed to buy about $20 million worth of eavesdropping gear a year. Moreover, this total does not include all purchases by the bug-infested CIA, which likes to shop through dummy agencies. No manufacturer admits selling to hoods or pleasure snoopers, but most of them believe that their competitors do. Says Fred East, Los Angeles County district attorney's investigator: Anyone can buy any kind of bugging eavesdropping dvice if he's got the money.

With the intensification of global competition, protecting confidential and proprietary information will continue to be one of the most important aspects of any corporate security program and Eavesdropping detection

There has been a constant stream of recorded incidents over the past few years of listening (Eavesdropping) devices being found in the office and at home. While it is true to say that the more complex devices may cost thousands of Dollars, simple and effective radio frequency 'bugs' can be purchased by mail order for as little as $50.
