Quoting:
The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic
surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a
mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby
conversations.
BTW, its easy to thwart this, even without removing the battery as
recommended: just place a shorted jack into the phone's mic/headset
plug. These plug's use an physical-electrical contact switching method to
shunt the audio so the software AFAIK can route around it.
