This short video explores ways to determine if your cell phone has been compromised to act as a bug. While it's obviously unlikely that this would happen to most people, it was recently revealed that the FBI has used this technique, and just as illicit wiretaps are possible, illicit cell phone bugging could also occur.
This video is based on Lauren Weinstein's December 2006 blog entry: "How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged" located at: http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000202.html Be seeing you!

nope, im from the UK, not the US. In any case, this is all pointless, as the USA can just "spy" on UK citizens -without a warrent- to any extent, and vice versa. so MI6 could do any spying it wanted by all methods not prohibited by international law an US citizens, even if the USA goverment needed a warrent. Theoretically.

I put my phone in a box, that muffles the mic so if they bug it, they'll be dissapointed. They have been doin this for years. Any phone can be turned on, look at modern phones, most are wireless, and have much electronics in them. There is a reason-spying! We live in an age of mistrust, on both sides. Careful what you say, even as a joke as it can be used against you!

Right on! We're communicating bs most of the time anyway. Our driving performances decrease, we're risking so much more, and the TIME......the time to be human and enjoy such privileged life, we waste talking into the machines. Like in prison, through the glass.

If MI6 were to spy ... ( 3 months ago by IHAServicesInc)

If MI6 were to spy on a Citizen of the United States without it's consent it would be violation of the Privact Act and National Treaties, but for the United States to spy on UK citizens would be perfectly legal, A. Because their is no Privacy act of the U.K. B. Because America has the #1 Key Role in the U.N. C. The United States has not signed non proficany treaties with any country but the USSR during the cold war.

you could always buy a pay as you go phone and switch it every month. no one would be able to get to it even wirelessly because you would never register it under your name.

Smart man. Pay as you go fake name, but if they want to know who owns the phone they will go to the place where you bought the minutes, and see that you are the one who purchased the minutes. Its admissible in court. If they want to go all out the authorities will just use voice recognition technology. Or they can simple use the analog on you phone to track where ever you go.
