I don't live in the US embassy and Hollywood is about fantasy. It is however pretty clear to me that a former g/f of mine had her land line tapped for being active in CND. It was hilariously obvious.

A lot of times Hollywood does take instances in real life and then embellish it. The point is that I'd like to know when anybody actually had expectations that words uttered would never be overheard; everybody, especially those who like to gossip know how to take privacy precautions.

It was hilariously obvious. So you've already realized that privacy does not include landlines. Why do you think it is going to include broadcasts over thru the air? I don't understand this logic. /BAH
