...white liberal was riding on a bus when he spied a bug crawling up the collar of a Negro passenger. Solicitously he reached over and plucked the bug away. Instantly the Negro turned on him indignantly. "Put it back, man," he snapped. "You white folks don't want us to have anything...
...forgive-and-forget policy that the Yugoslav President suddenly seems to be favoring. Last month Tito also pardoned another former Vice President, Aleksandar Ranković, who, as the country's security chief, had not only plotted an anti-Tito conspiracy, but actually went so far as to bug Tito's home and office...
Darts & Lights. Manhattan-based Continental Telephone Supply Co., Inc., a leader in the bug-and anti-bugging business, proudly advertises a postage-stamp-size, transistorized "007 Spy Transmitter" that can pick up whispered conversations and broadcast them to a conventional radio receiver located nearby. The 007 is powered by a tiny nickel-cadmium or mercury battery that will last for 60 hours. Another Continental bug looks like an exact copy of a telephone microphone. But substituted for that mike in a standard telephone, it operates indefinitely on the phone's own current and transmits both sides of any telephone...
Even as space-age missiles fostered the development of antimissiles, electronic bugs have already spawned a variety of anti-bugs. Continental's most advanced detector is a highly specialized AM and FM receiver rigged with red and green warning lights and an automatically rotating antenna. In a bugged room, its circuits will lock on to offending transmitters, its warning lights will blink and its antenna will point at the bug. Another detector resembles a small transistor radio, but the high-pitched whine from its speaker dies down as its whip antenna is swept toward a hidden bug. For those...
Just like Tracy. Just as antimissiles led to the development of the antimissile missile, the bug detectors and scramblers have spawned a sort of anti-bug bug. Perhaps the most remarkable and virtually undetectable bug on the market is Continental's "infinity transmitter." No bigger than a pair of back-to-back matchbooks, the transmitter can be quickly hidden inside the base of any telephone. Once installed, it can be monitored from thousands of miles away. The properly equipped eavesdropper need only dial the number of the bugged phone from any direct-dialing phone anywhere in the world...
