Long ago I was involved in a Project TEMPEST site.
(Telecommunications Electronics Material Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions)

A Faraday cage on steroids! And springs to dampen mechanical vibrations; and so much more.

In the ‘80’s the FBI gave my project a briefing on how France is spying on us. (Our company in particular.) By video we followed FBI agents into a nice hotel in Paris. They pointed out a video lens above the hotel room’s desk so they could see what you were working on. The shredder provided by the hotel made a photocopy as it shredded the paper. The phones were tapped. A camera was set up to watch the bed. This was all done by the French Secret Service.

One of our employees left his locked briefcase in his room while he went to dinner. The next day at a negotiation he told the French company negotiator that he couldn’t do what they wanted. The man said, “Sure you can.” And he pulled out a photo copy of negotiation briefing they’d stolen the night before from his locked briefcase. Our guy got up and left.

He carries the cell phone because he talks to people who give him orders and directives that are completely outside of the system. People whose names we probably would not recognize.

For a second there I thought he was talking about Christian, heterosexual, Patriot Citizens.

The “how dare you” on the part of countries being spied on is for public consumption. In fact they are all spying on each other all the time, I believe.

Getting caught doing it, being exposed doing it, though, is a major faux pas. A major embarrassment for the one spying and the one being spied on. If you are going to spy on people, the least you can do for the sake of everyone involved is to not get caught.
