Cell Phone Bugs

If you think that your cell phone is bugged, the bug is probably in your head, not in your cell phone. No, I don't mean implanted in your head, I mean it's just your imagination.

One day a guy called and told me that his dentist implanted bugs in his teeth. Yep, we get all kinds of crazies calling.

While a certain proportion of the population is paranoid schizophrenic, there are a few people who need to be concerned. If your a criminal, a big one, then you should be concerned that your landline is bugged. If you use only a cell phone, the FBI can bug that. But, you have to be a big enough fish.

The technology used to bug a cell phone is too expensive for most people, and it's sold to law enforcement anyway. Law enforcement can also get a court order to bug your cell phone through the telephone company's equipment. If the FBI bugs your phone, there is absolutely no way to tell, whether it's your landline or cell phone.

One lady who contacted Sherlock Investigations was sure that her cell phone was bugged. I asked her where she usually talked on it. In her car, she said. Her soon-to-be-ex knew too much about her plans and life that I knew something fishy was going on.

After two hours of searching, I found the listening device cleverly hidden in her car. Whenever she talked on her cell phone in her car, her husband could hear her side of the conversation. I removed the device and she gave it to her lawyer.

The chances of your cell phone being bugged, though, is very, very slim.
