Press Release Summary = Cell phone tapping has become an issue for the public, but
it is clearly misunderstood. One Indianapolis PI offers clarification and
recommendations for public phone tap awareness.

Press Release Body = Public interest in the field of phone tap detection has
heightened in recent months due to concerns about President Bush\'s wiretapping
policies. As a long-trusted expert in the phone tap detection industry,
Indianapolis PI, Tim Wilcox, has been fielding numerous queries about the subject.
Wishing to arm the general population with a proper understanding of the real
issues, he has published some helpful facts to clear up confusion, especially about
cell phone tapping.

\"First, it is important for people to realize that it\'s very unlikely they would be
a target of a government phone tap unless they happen to be engaged in suspected
terrorist-related activities,\" states the Indianapolis PI. \"Moreover, people need
to understand the difference between a \'phone tap\' and \'cell phone tapping\'. People
generally believe that \'cell phone tapping\' is when someone is listening in on their
cellular phone conversations ... like a phone tap on their mobile phone. For most
people, they\'ll be glad to know that there is no such device for cell phone
tapping.\" Mr. Wilcox clarifies that the only way to eavesdrop on cellular calls is
to intercept the signal, which is a difficult and complicated process, requiring
expensive government-controlled equipment. \"Just about the only people who have
access to such equipment are select government organizations, who must undertake a
considerable amount of training and effort to intercept and monitor all calls on
someone\'s cell phone.\"

The main concern for most companies and individuals regarding cell phone tapping is
when a cell phone is being used as a bug. According to the Indianapolis PI, \"In the
eavesdropping world, there\'s a big difference between a phone tape and a bug. A
\'bug\' is a transmitter and a \'tap\' is a phone line intrusion.\"

Wilcox\'s Indianapolis PI firm performs countless bug sweeps each year across the US.
He explains that people have become confused by the misnomer \'cell phone tapping\',
thinking that their cell phones are vulnerable. In reality, Wilcox\'s PI firm in
Indianapolis has seen an increase in recent years where victims of eavesdropping
have had a cell phone on their premises which silently rings and answers calls made
to it. The phones then transmit everything audible within its range back to the
caller. He states that cell phone tapping devices (or \'bugs) are generally found
concealed in common items, such as lamps, clocks and ornaments. \"In most cases, the
perpetrator is someone the victim knows.\"
