Right, there are secret microphones in your home satellite box, just like the ones in everyones home PC and cable box. I bet it would be impossible to prove, due to it’s highly classified nature of course.
Some things I’m not certain of. Some things I am.
I have come to think that the sources about the cable boxes are diverse and significant enough that I mostly believe that.
I believe the stuff about cell phones.
I don’t know about satellite boxes.
I certainly believe black ops folks have access to all computers by any number of back doors etc. and that they have various agreements with anti-spyware etc. companies insuring such access.
But, hey, far be it from me to hinder someone’s whistling by the grave yard in abject denial. I think folks should be as blissful as long as possible.
Unless, of course, they’d like to be above average prepared for what’s coming down the Pike.
