Laser eavesdropping?

True, they used to use microwaves before lasers.

It's good that plants can't talk.

the only guy in this thread living in the real world, clearlyyou're absolutely right...if the feds are busting this kind of thing out on you...you fucked up already and are going down regardless
Yeah, once they send James Bond after your ass, you're toast, look at any of his movies

I used one of those things a couple of years ago... when I was playing splinter cell.

Yea it's true. And sadly, they even advertise cheap versions on TV late at night. There is one product that you can apparently "Hear your friends and neighbors conversations from up to 100ft. away, just point, and listen" and it's just a tiny little ear bud. Prolly costs 19.95.
Personally I'd be less worried about this technology and more worried about the intercom cell phone taps. These are even easier for them to listen to ya with. All they have to do is send a small file that self-installs on your phone and bam, they have access to anywhere your phone is sitting. This means you now have a one-way intercom with the bad guys. Let's worry more about what they can do from far away, not what they have to get right in-front of your place to do.

This kind of toy needs a person there, the FBI is what people tend to think of 'FEDs'. FEDs could mean Congress too, but they all like to know things. The FBI does a lot of Embassy wars, they probably run around all day watching what Embassy's do with their freedom. Embassy's get diplomatic immunity, they can't get charged with anything. This sort of toy wouldn't help anyone on this forum, but a cellular interceptor would. You could intercept any cell phone call within a few miles, track people that you think might be narcing. It doesn't help if they use a land line, but it's good for hearing chatter of specific phones. These can also intercept every cell phone call within range for key words. They cost about fifteen grand, a nice one is made in India.
Most laser eavesdropping involves a specially selected room.
Because of the noise involved, these rooms usually have a window planted in them. A special window with a target area (prism?) of the window that captures the inside noise.
They used this to get testimony (unwillingly) from trafficers in Central America during boom. They would replace a window in a hotel, that would be frequented by said people.
Unless you are carrying state secrets or are a kingpin...
The more traditional tactics will be used against you.

Just because you can buy pads and a helmet doesn't mean you should join the NFL
haha. big difference between being a scumbag PI and a professinal athlete. i actually know PIs...good point though. stick with what you know.
That's incorrect. It does not require special glass. It works on any window. There are some things you control if at all possible - like proximity to outside vibration. Like you'd rather have a 6th floor window facing a quiet side street or alley, rather than a ground floor window along a sidewalk.
But it certainly doesn't require a special window or target. That would be pointless. If you've got the kind of control of a situation where you can guarantee which room and can make modifications to it, you'd be putting in hardwired cameras and mics.
Laser pick ups are used in situations where the subject is in a known location that's not accessible by other means. It's almost a last resort, since it is so prone to interference and signal degradation.
If you can get boots on the ground in the location, you hardwire a better system in place. It's often easier to get guys in and out than it is to get a good quality laser pick up.
Exactly. No one is busting out these toys for a grower. Escobar, yeah. Grower, no.

^Forgot about these guys, they've been around forever too. So like I said before, I'd be more worried at what they can do from a real distance, not from right outside your house.
