<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western">(My first reply to this,
sent over 90 minutes ago, was -not- propagated by the BayLISA mail
server ... so I'm Cc:ing you directly, Michael. Apparently, -someone-
found the potential for someone, somewhere, taking offense, was greater
than your, and others', need for good information. Nice, eh?)<br>
<br>
Reading this description of the secret call center, I cannot help but
wonder:<br>
<br>
- What protections are being taken against telephone taps?<br>
- Have you secured your telephone switch and do you trust your
provider? [1]<br>
- Have you secured the telecommunications cables leaving the building?<br>
- Are you using fiber, where possible, instead of copper?<br>
- How will you stop cleaning staff from installing listening devices?<br>
- Have you tested the room and building for EMF transparency (Van Eck)?<br>
- What's roof access like?<br>
- What's beneath the building, in terms of navigable tunnels?<br>
- Does your building share any walls with any other buildings?<br>
<br>
And last but not least:<br>
<br>
- What's to stop someone from kidnapping an employee (or cleaning
person)?<br>
<br>
You may want to consider a shuttle bus for your employees, too.<br>
<br>
And, now that I think of it, a determined call center employee could
still bring in a digital pocket tape recorder, or, even worse, a cell
phone ... strip searches may be indicated ... or (a) metal detector(s),
built into the door frame(s) of your mantrap.<br>

companies that perform official wiretaps for the U. S. local, state and
federal law enforcement: Comverse Infosys and Amdocs." (Complete story
