All of my telephone eavesdropping was done with alligator clips and a headset. 
My best friend (at the time) and I used to listen to his sister's phone calls 
with her girl friends. Got a lot of tips on which of her friends were
"easy" 
dates. And once got to listen to  a "performance review" of a
date that I had 
gone on with one of those girls. Did my ego a world of good.

It's amazing the things that people will say even on devices they know are 
vulnerable. We had a governor in our state that the Feds were preparig to 
prosecute .... and he knew he was being monitored, But, the arrogant ass did 
not become one bit circumspect in his telephone behaviour. He's now serving a 
term in the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Institute.  Bv)=
