SURGE IN WIRETAPPING
AND BUGGING CREATES ENORMOUS DEMAND IN COUNTERMEASURES BUSINESSRecently federal law enforcement officials raided spy shops across the
country and confiscated huge amounts of illegal bugs and wiretaps which
was spurred by a national conspiracy to import and distribute illegal bug
and wiretapping devises into the United States from Japan. You likely saw
some of the articles in newspapers or on national television concerning
these raids. This incident provides an indication of the massive amount
of illegal eavesdropping that is going on in the United States and should
be a good economic indicator to you of the upwardly mobile demand for countermeasures
services. Sweeping offices, homes, cars, airplanes, phones and yachts for
bugs and wiretaps and providing other secure communications services as
an investigative specialization has been steadily on the rise for the past
ten years and it has been identified as a major specialization trend for
the private investigative industry. It's one of the biggest growth areas
of the private investigative industry there is.
In NAIS surveys of investigative specializations it has moved from way down
on the list of one hundred investigative specializations to near the top
in the top twenty and continues to steadily move up the list. Understanding
why countermeasures services is booming is easy to understand when you look
at what has happened to the driving forces that are moving the American
economy. A decade or two ago, the national economy was driven by the sales
of goods and services. However, today the American economy is driven by
information. It's called the information age and almost every segment of
business, industry and government is being driven by propritory information.
Information then, just like goods and services, needs security and needs
to be protected and guarded against theft. This has opened a floodgate and
boom for those few investigative agencies who offer countermeasures services
and information security services.
Here is six major reasons why you and your agency should consider entering
the countermeasures and information security field.
The P.I. Catalog features an extensive selection of countermeasures books
and manuals that contain the hardcore information and training you'll need
to enter into this field. Not only do you learn about conducting countermeasures
services, you'll learn about all kinds of bugs and wiretaps and how to locate
and exterminate them and you'll gain vast insight into how to go about marketing
your services and working in a way to maximinizing profit.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of expert hardcore tips contained in
the Thomas Publications Countermeasures Library:
Frequency Hopping Bugs: This are bugs that chance frequency in attempts
to avoid detection by countermeasures services. You are shown exactly what
this type of equipment is and what you can do about it.
Snuggling Techniques: Snuggling techniques are sometimes used by eavesdroppers
in attempts to avoid detection by you. By tuning the bug very near an existing
radio station, they are hoping you will get indications that what you are
picking up is just another radio station. This countermeasures library fully
explains this technique and shows you how to defeat it.
Telephone Tape Trick: Once a telephone has been cleared, many agencies are
taping the bottom of the telephone and up along the edge which provides
a seal on the telephone. The tape is printed with the name and address of
the company doing the service and states that the telephone has been cleared
and sealed. Of course, any time someone notices that the seal has been broken,
the agency gets another call.
Really High Tech Services: It's no longer enough to merely sweep telephone
lines for wiretaps and rooms for bugs. Clients today need to worry about
the security of computers, fax machines, cellular telephones, and trash.
There are a number of options the communications security expert needs to
offer included extended security checks, consulting, surveys and equipment
sales of inscription and software locking programs, voice and fax machine
scramblers, paper shredders and many other communications security devices
the client will need.
SELECTION OF THE RIGHT KIND OF EQUIPMENT
At the very minimum, you will need at least two basic specialized pieces
of equipment. The first piece of equipment is the all important RF bug detector.
You will want certain features in this such as sensitivity adjustments to
adjust for areas with lots of radio signals. You'll also want to be in a
position to quickly determine what you are picking up. That is, is it ambinant
voice such as a radio station signal or an actual bug. You need to have
the ability to perform the sweep covertly so you need a bug detector that
doesn't make a lot of noise so you will not alert an eavesdropper. The second
type of equipment you want is a good telephone and telephone line tester.
The CMS professional countermeasures kit available from Thomas Investigative
Publications contains two basic pieces of countermeasures equipment in the
form of an Advanced Transmitter Detector and Advanced Wiretap Detector with
three additional probes for the Transmitter Detector. You'll find the features
on this kit meeting the requirements of a basic kit and it's popularly priced
at under $1,500.
You'll also want a tool kit that includes little mirrors, screw drivers,
pliers, flashlights, a magnifying glass and those types of things. Good
countermeasures services rely on visual inspection as much as they do black
box equipment.
Many countermeasures services add things like Video Detection, IR Light
Detection that can act as audio carriers and hardwire testing units. These
types of add-on testing equipment is included in the CMS Professional Countermeasures
Kits.
The P.I. catalog offers an extensive line of countermeasures kits and individual
countermeasures equipment as well as an extensive training library. It's
time to take a look at entering the information age countermeasures services.
We urge you to take a look at the booming and fast growing market for this
type of investigative service and urge you to carryfully review the countermeasures
library and countermeasures equipment found in the P.I. Catalog. Should
