On: Defense Claims Courthouse Was Illegally Bugged

[criddell]

Does anybody know what the technical specs of the bug microphone is? Is there some equivalent piece of equipment a civilian can buy?

Do the recorders have their own power supply? Their own cellular connection? Are they essentially phones with giant batteries and a good external microphone?

As an aside, it's always annoyed me that cell phones don't all come with built-in call recording capabilities.

Oh but they do! Haven't you read the Snowden docs? You just don't have access to the recorded files ;)
