The Bugs in Mr. Bell's Circuits: Telephone Bugging and Debugging
James M. Atkinson Granite Island Group
Tue Jan 27, 03-06:00pm, 1-190

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

The fine art of telephone surveillance and how to detect it, distilled into a two-hour lecture by one of the nation's top technical counter-surveillance experts. Ever wonder if someone's listening in on your calls? Maybe that phone on your desk has been turned into a bug that sends your enemies anything you say nearby -- regardless of whether you've picked up the handset or not. Drawing on 20-odd years' experience hunting bugs and finding security leaks for governments and major multi-national corporations, Mr. Atkinson will cover both highly rigorous and somewhat more practical ways of frustrating spies and
thinking about physical security.

The talk will be 2-3 hours followed by a Q&A session. While it will certainly cover sensitive information, everything is unclassified -- so we're making it open to the public.
