When I was a kid, one of the science experiments we did was to use a speaker as a microphone. Electrical tape clearly wouldn't work here. Get out your soldering iron. Anyway, my personal paranoid favorite is that here in the Austin Texas area, they have helpful traffic cameras for adjusting traffic flow that do not point upwards at traffic to be adjusted for, but point directly at face and license plates. Scary Huh. Theo's advice to leave the country seems appropriate. Enough paranoia. ;(
