The other day, my college age son quietly went around the house and put electricians tape over the camera lenses on the displays of all our home computers.

[gaijin]

I live in an area where there are some intel training schools and a grad school for espionage and ALL of them do that also.

Crazy?

Maybe, but since they are that way, well, you should be, too.

Tape square = “I AM NOT QUITE STUPID”.

When I got my first laptop at work with a camera, the first thing I did was put tape over the cmera. The external camera on my home computer is only plugged in when I’m using it.

Likewise with the microphone.

And all of the liberals are putting masking tape over the unused outlets in the house to keep the electricity from leaking out.

Anything to "Save the Planet!".

[knarf]

Gracie Allen cut the cord to the vacuumn cleaner and made it shorter for the same reason.

Ahhh .. Gracie ... we miss ya' dahlin'

You too, Gearge.

[rarestia]

Black electrical tape works the best and won’t leave adhesive when removed. I’ve been doing this for years even with my iPhone and iPad. Electrical tape is cheap. Privacy is priceless.

If you don't cover the lens the choose what they see when your not there by placing a picture in front of the lens while your gone.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Crazy? Maybe

At this point — subject to change — in spite of the hard evidence that has surfaced lately, it’s my belief that the concern over “big brother spying” is more paranoia than justified fear of a real danger.

Then again, as Intel’s Andrew Grove wrote: “Only The Paranoid Survive”. :-)

[Nervous Tick]

Now there’s a picture of Michelle that I haven’t seen yet...

[Redleg Duke]

Now you owe me a keyboard and a monitor!

[Yosemitest]

For those who like to read, here's a preview of "The Eye of Moloch".

[Nervous Tick]

Sorry, Duke.

While we’re on the subject... is it just me, or has she lost a little weight? Above the waist, anyway...

[Psalm 73]

"....putting masking tape over the unused outlets in the house...."

That's foolish - you need the right tool for the right job - that's why they make electrical tape....

[dfwgator]

“I am perpetual...I keep the country clean.”

[penelopesire]

Whoever can figure out a fool proof way for consumers to avoid these government abuses online, will become a billionaire.

[null and void]

Totally looks like:

[baddog 219]

I do the same thing except I use a picture from a medical book of a herpes infected penis..
The NSA called and told me to see a doctor...

[Dan Cooper]

Whoever can figure out a fool proof way for consumers to avoid these government abuses online, will become a billionaire.

That company will then be subverted and provide backdoor access to all their customers.

[penelopesire]

Probably....corruption rules when God does not.

[yldstrk]

I recommend all liberals stick forks in their outlets to save energy
