For all of you who go around talking into those little Star-Trek-style communicators, an interesting link:
For $110, anyone can buy the record of your outgoing calls.
For double that, they can get your incoming calls, as well.
Feel safe now?
I knew there'd be more reasons not to have a cell phone. Thank the gods I never fell for that "convenience" crap. You want to get in touch with me? You'll have to have a little patience.

You're using a jumped-up version of a walkie-talkie, a radio transmitter. Anybody with the right receiver tuned to the right frequency can eavesdrop on your calls. Not exactly what I'd call "secure".
Nope, no way I'm getting one of those.
