*   lamps, telephone poles, parking meters and empty automobiles parked near
*   locations where its targets sometimes strolled. Such an outdoor array
*   of surveillance devices planted near the Mulberry Street headquarters
*   of John Gotti, for example, was an important weapon on the FBI's long
*   and eventually successful investigation of one of New York City's most
*   arrogant Mafia bosses.

Additionally, the FBI/NSA has briefcase-sized devices that can be attached
to any digital telephone company transmission line, and can monitor many
conversations simultaneously.
