That's exactly what we did.. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug. our house. They used
scanner devices which go to over 1 GHz. and would pick up any nearby
transmitter in that range, they also checked the. phones and found
nothing... but if the tap was at the exchange, then they. wouldn't find
anything, would. they?
CS: >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in. fact, no bugs to be found?
You can assume that they've done this sort of thing. to other people in more
"serious" cases, where they would know the. targets would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So they will have. developed techniques
and devices which are not readily detectable either by visual inspection. or
by electronic means. What those techniques. might be, I couldn't guess.
In this case, the existence of bugging devices was. clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in". with what was said by the boy on the
coach. It was. almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to be
called in, who they knew would. fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility to the other things I would have to. say relating to the
harassment.
I did all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find. the
bugs. In addition to calling in professional. help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I. made a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment,. plus any points where audio or video surveillance devices might
have been concealed. Of course, I found nothing.. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are quite noticeable. and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me. the best place to put a small video surveillance
device would be additional to a. piece of electronic equipment such as a TV
or video. It would be necessary to physically break in to a property to. fit
such. a device.

not, their opinions are always very false and very unsound.
329. The reason of effects.--The weakness of man is the reason why so many
things are considered fine, as to be good at playing the lute. It is only an
evil because of our weakness.
330. The power of kings is founded on the reason and on the folly of the
people, and specially on their folly. The greatest and most important thing
in the world has weakness for its foundation, and this foundation is
wonderfully sure; for there is nothing more sure than this, that the people
will be weak. What is based on sound reason is very ill-founded as the
estimate of wisdom.
331. We can only think of Plato and Aristotle in grand academic robes. They
were honest men, like others, laughing with their friends, and, when they
diverted themselves with writing their Laws and the Politics, they did it as
an amusement. That part of their life was the least philosophic and the
least serious; the most philosophic was to live simply and quietly. If they
wrote on politics, it was as if laying down rules for a lunatic asylum; and
if they presented the appearance of speaking of a great matter, it was
because they knew that the madmen, to whom they spoke, thought they were
kings and emperors. They entered into their principles in order to make
their madness as little harmful as possible.
332. Tyranny consists in the desire of universal power beyond its scope.
There are different assemblies of the strong, the fair, the sensible, the
pious, in which each man rules at home, not elsewhere. And sometimes they
meet, and the strong and the fair foolishly
