Listening Devices - Friends in High Places?
With the recent revelation that a Member of Parliament was bugged by a listening device whilst talking to a constituent, does it matter how high-placed you are when it comes to listening in?
Most of us go about our daily lives without thinking about how much we are being observed. Yet the fact remains that the UK is one of the most highly-surveyed societies in the world. From CCTV cameras in the supermarket and your local leisure centre to the speed cameras on your way to work, most of our daily movements can be traced visually without our even knowing it. Listening devices are another form of surveillance and one, it would seem, that not even those with friends in high places can avoid. In fact, the more important you are, and the work that you do, the more likely you are to be targeted by a listening device.
Listening Devices - are you worth it?
There are strict laws on the use of listening devices. These laws are there to protect people and to ensure that agencies and individuals don't have the right to listen to anything and everyone. Balancing this moral right with the security problems that the UK has to face, however, is difficult. Intelligence agencies do make use of listening devices, as do private investigation agencies and security firms. The availability of a wide range of sophisticated listening devices realistically means that anyone could be listening to you. Industrial espionage has always been around in one form or another and an easily-concealed listening device picking up the right information at the right time can make millions for the individual or business that places it. Get found out, however, and you could lose everything.
