1. She's not important enough to bug.
No offense to Cindy, but she just isn't relevant anymore.

2. The story she tells of walking in on someone using a
screwdriver on her hotel room phone... would be appropriate for a 1960's "bugging" op, nowadays there are MUCH easier ways to plant bugs (hell, you don't even need to ever risk going in the room).

3. Well...
It could have been a hamfisted Faux stringer, trying to get something.

4. Even the stupidest Faux operative would know to rig a
laser "window bounce" microphone. I've seen youtubes where anyone can build one with a laser pointer and a few electronic parts for $20 or so.

8. What's the purpose of this poll?
Nobody here knows. If one doesn't think she is someone watched and harassed, I think that one is a bit naive in this climate.

9. Of course, there are probably over 70,000 federal agents assigned to keeping up with her.

:crazy:

10. Sure it was...
... and I bet the CIA is using alien technology to read her brain waves, they're pumping extra fluoride in her water to make her easier to brain wash, and they're looking for a chance to abduct her and implant a tracking device in her spine. :sarcasm:

11. For the right price...
Our cell phones can do double-duty as surveillance devices now. The telecoms offer an expanded menu of services for wealthy fascists and other authoritarian "peepees". Check it out. It's true. Everything's for sale these days.

:hi:

12. I've actually heard of that.
Normally I'm suspicious of unsourced allegations of this sort ;) but this I've heard before.

15. Maybe that would explain why she wasn't too outgoing last night?
I saw her and Cynthia McKinney and Rosa, and Cynthia and Rosa were quite friendly and outgoing. Not so with Cindy, but she could have been having a bad day, or ....

Cynthia talked a lot about CoIntel Pro...

:scared: :wow: :scared:

18. Cindy actually made an explicit accusation that she was being bugged.
I don't know if you came across this, but here is what gave rise to this survey:

19. thanks for including the news item.
It's all very disheartening... because it's so believable.

And sad because we will very likely never know the whole truth.

16. ummm-- they don't bug phones like that anymore
She is describing something out of an old movie.

Perhaps it was a guy..........fixing the phone.

I think she is becoming paranoid and jumping to conclusions without thinking.
