Watch what you say on a cordless phone; the price of high-tech communications may be privacy

Article Abstract:

It is easy to eavesdrop on electronic communications transmitted via cellular telephones. Wireless telephones transmit over frequencies that can be picked up on radios that cost as little as $200. It is illegal to listen in on conversations on cellular-phone frequencies, but this has not prevented radio sophisticates from doing it. Norman Siegel, who represents the New York Civil Liberties Union, suggests that phone companies and companies that sell this sort of communications equipment ought to be required to put notices on their equipment so that everyone will be informed about the privacy issue.
