[In the early '70s a friend and her husband (who was an active, though not successful cocaine dealer) fell on hard times. They eventually stopped paying their telephone bills. Months later, with an unpaid balance in the thousands, the phone still hadn't been disconnected. In fact, they hadn't even been notified of an impending disconnection. A coincedence? I think not. So for those of you involved in dubious activities. One test of whether your phones may be tapped is to stop paying the bill.ay not have long to wait.] By Kevin Poulsen May 15, 2000 6:16 AM PT If you were to list the many fine attributes typically associated with the FBI, technological prescience wouldn't normally make the top ten.
