Techniques in Countersurveillance: The Fine Art of Bug Extermination in the Real World of Intelligence Gathering

The world of intelligence gathering is skyrocketing, with legal and corporate spies going to great lengths with extremely sophisticated equipment and techniques to get the goods on you. This eye-opening book will help you prevent them from destroying your life. First it will show you how spies gather information on you with phone taps, bugs, hidden microphones and video recorders and then use that info against you in business and in court. Then you will learn how to catch them in the act and use their own technology against them! Although surveillance means to keep a close watch over someone or something, a term more appropriate to our discussion is the archaic eavesdropping, which means to listen secretly to what is said in private, the term having derived from the practice of standing under the eaves and surreptitiously listening to a private conversation.
