That's exactly what we did. We. went to a competent, professional detective agency in London, paid them. over 400 quid to debug our house. They used scanner. devices which go to over 1 GHz and would pick up any nearby transmitter in that range, they also. checked the phones and found
nothing... but if the tap. was at the exchange, then they wouldn't find anything, would. they?

CS: >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in fact,. no bugs to be found?

You can assume that they've done. this sort of thing to other people in more "serious" cases, where. they would know the targets would suspect the
presence. of electronic surveillance. So they will have developed techniques and. devices which are not readily detectable either by visual inspection or
by electronic means. What those techniques. might be, I couldn't guess.

In this case,. the existence of bugging devices was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed. it in" with what was said by the boy on the
coach. It was almost. as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to be called in, who they knew would fail to. detect the bugging devices, causing loss of credibility to the other things I would. have to say relating to the harassment.

I did. all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in professional help using. electronic counter-surveillance, I made a. close visual inspection of electrical equipment, plus any points where. audio or video surveillance devices might have been concealed. Of course, I found nothing.. Normal surveillance "mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and. require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the best place to put a. small video surveillance device would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such. as a TV
or video. It would be necessary to physically break in. to a property to fit such. a device.
