Mom and Dad, are you confused by all this new-fangled gadgetry and long for the simpler days of cigarette case weapons, bow tie cameras, microfilm and invisible ink? Well, in this mixed up topsy-turvy world of high-tech surveillance, GPS Enabled Tracking, and Radio Frequency Identification Tags (RFIT) it’s good to know that there is still some cold war era technology available to Orwellian-minded parents who want to wire tap their kid’s phones.
Introducing Elenco’s Telephone Bug Kit. Once you’ve installed the dime-sized wiretapping device, which is fundamentally just a low-power FM radio transmitter, you’ll be able to eavesdrop on your child’s conversation from the safety of another room. Granted there’s a chance you could be prosecuted under Federal Laws that prohibit illegal wire tapping and yes the Telephone Bug Kit does require a rudimentary knowledge of soldering, but think of the bonding time you’ll have with your spouse or significant other as you install this bug and betray the sacred trust between parent and child.
Am I laying the sarcasm on thick enough here? Whatever you think you can gain by illegally wire tapping your child’s phone will never make up for what you will lose if your son or daughter ever finds out Mom and Dad went George Bush on their ass. Instead of secretly monitoring their conversations, why not just ask them what you want to know. Besides, this doesn’t work on cell phones and how many kids even use landlines anymore?
However, if you are swayed by the Nikolai Khohlov endorsement and purchase the Bug Kit, you'll be happy to know it comes with a cyanide tablet; you know, just in case.
