In reply to the discussion: Chris Hayes: gov't has the capability of turning any cell phone on remotely and using it as bug [View all]Duppers
(28,469 posts)"The government likely also has the ability, with your phone company's help, to open the line on your landline phone and use its microphone as a bug, although we've yet to see any specific cases where such landline phone-based bugging has been used. Finally, the government may even have the capability, using remotely-installed government malware, to turn on the microphone or camera on your computer."

I was told about this years ago.
I'm wondering if all this spying is being done, why aren't more criminals caught and sooner?
And how are millions of "herbal" transactions happening w/o "authorities" knowing and prosecuting?
And where are the millions of human eyes it'd take to make decisions on these calls and messages?
