Then you had a serious reality filter. The Cold War mythologies were
all about spies and electronics and stuff. The US embassy in Russia
couldn't be used because of all the bugs. Hollywood movies are
filled with people talking in the bathroom with the water running.
Little girls learn all about how sound carries.

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. Now childish
notion is that all transmissions in the EMF range are private?

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.

Mostly so in fact.

That tap would have needed a warrant though.

How do you like Bush asserting he's got the right to open and read first-class
