Bugs - Surveillance Article
"But Rhonda," Nigel pleaded, "I swear
that nobody has been able to get in or out of the mansion while the
boys have been working on their new album."
Rhonda paced the room. As the manager for one of the top rock bands
in the world, she rented a private estate so her clients could
sketch out some new songs while enjoying some privacy. Instead, her
assistant, Nigel, had just broken the news that an entire set of
pirated lyrics just showed up on the Internet.
Because no staff or journalists were permitted on the premises while
the musicians were brainstorming, only Rhonda and Nigel had access
to the band -- and they both had too much to lose to risk it on a
tabloid news leak. Rhonda gave the boys a long weekend off, so she
could figure out what to do.
"If we can't keep those new songs secret," Rhonda warned Nigel, "we
can't guarantee the record label a number one album."
"And if we bring the guys back to the city," Nigel said, "they'll be
too distracted to write."
A flash of inspiration lighted up Nigel's face. "Let me get a friend
of mine from the city to check something out."
Nigel's friend, Mark, ran a private detective agency, and stumbled
into situations like this all the time. He brought along a
handheld bug detector and strolled through the house as he
passed it over lamps, furniture, and wall fixtures.
"If you've got information leaking, and there are no extra people
floating around the house, you've either got to have good ears...or
a little assistance."
The bug detector chirped.
By the time he was finished, Mark found about two dozen different
listening devices planted all over the property. Even though the
spies had tried to trick Mark by using devices that transmitted
at different frequencies, Mark's bug detector scanned the
entire radio spectrum to reveal them all.
Rhonda knew she might never find out who put those bugs there in the
first place, but she did order a bug detector of her own.
Small enough to take with her on tours, she found it pretty useful
whenever she wanted to guarantee her clients' privacy -- especially
whenever she had to renegotiate a new record deal.
