As the driving force in business and industry has shifted to information, there has been an explosion in the demand for eavesdropping countermeasures services. A critical, but often poorly understood component of countermeasures "sweeps", is checking telephone lines for wiretaps. This manual cuts through the nonsense and hocus pocus and shows you how to do simple, effective tests that work! You will learn the critical information that separates the professionals from the wannabes. This should be required reading for ALL investigators and ANYONE concerned about electronic security. The sections on wiretap detection are followed by a broad Q and A discussion of electronic eavesdropping and countermeasures, including radio frequency (RF) bugging transmitters and detection.
