That's exactly what we. did. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them. over 400 quid to debug our house. They used
scanner devices. which go to over 1 GHz and would pick up any nearby
transmitter in. that range, they also checked the phones and found
nothing... but if the tap was at the exchange, then they. wouldn't find
anything, would. they?
CS: >Doesn't this. suggest to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found?
You can assume that they've done. this sort of thing to other people in more
"serious" cases, where they would know the. targets would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So they will have. developed techniques
and devices which are not readily detectable. either by visual inspection or
by electronic means. What those techniques might be, I couldn't. guess.
In this case, the existence of bugging devices. was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in" with what. was said by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to. be
called in, who they knew would. fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility to the other things I would have to say relating. to the
harassment.
I did all the things someone. in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs.. In addition to calling in professional help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I. made a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment, plus any points where. audio or video surveillance devices might
have been concealed. Of. course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras". are quite noticeable and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the. best place to put a small video surveillance
device would be additional to a piece of electronic. equipment such as a TV
or video. It would be necessary. to physically break in to a property to fit
such. a device.

most, will the greatest reckoning be demanded, because of the power he has
by this help.
532. Scripture has provided passages of consolation and of warning for all
conditions.
Nature seems to have done the same thing by her two infinities, natural and
moral; for we shall always have the higher and the lower, the more clever
and the less clever, the most exalted and the meanest, in order to humble
our pride and exalt our humility.
533. Comminutum cor (Saint Paul).[89] This is the Christian character. Alba
has named you, I know you no more (Corneille). That is the inhuman
character. The human character is the opposite.
534. There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who believe themselves
sinners; the rest, sinners, who believe themselves righteous.
535. We owe a great debt to those who point out faults. For they mortify us.
They teach us that we have been despised. They do not prevent our being so
in the future; for we have many other faults for which we may be despised.
They prepare for us the exercise of correction and freedom from fault.
536. Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes
it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it.
For man holds an inward talk with his self alone, which it behoves him to
regulate well: Corrumpunt bonos mores colloquia prava.90 We must keep silent
as much as possible and talk with ourselves only of God, whom we know to be
true; and thus we convince ourselves of the truth.
537. Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even
abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise,
this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make
him terribly abject.
538. With how little pride does a Christian believe himself united to God!
With how little humiliation does he place himself on
