FBI Files: Ultrasonic Listening Devices / Wiretapping / Countermeasures

Background

Devices exist which, by sending an electrical impulse of ultrasonic frequency through a telephone circuit by tapping, will permit remote surveillance of any office in which a telephone is located by utilizing the telephone microphone as a pick-up. Such eavesdropping may be accomplished without additional wires and is possible even though the handset is in a “hung-up” position.

Below, you will find thousands of pages archived from the FBI on ultrasonic listening devices, wiretapping, violations, and countermeasures.
