Thanks, Warren, for enlightening your readers! Some of the points you've made are mind boggling.

I'm sure this will make it's way into the 'other comments' but I have to say that 'humming transformers' just put the image of Optimus Prime bopping down the street humming a tune in my head. :)

Good info! Do you have some examples though? Or a link?

Absolutely! If you have a police scanner, it can pick up all kinds of private conversations though cellphones and cordless phones but here is another you may not be aware of. Police scanners can broadcast everything that is said INSIDE your home through baby monitors! YES it's true. The privacy of your home is not private if you have a baby monitor in it. BEWARE!

WoW. Big brother really IS watching if you are connected. Did you ever set up a camera in your home DB?

Posted by DebtorBasher on 2011-12-09:

No, I don't want one in my home. Check with Alain, I think he video tapes me from his tree watch.

Heh heh. The competition! The DB chronicles, on YouTube. I can dream.

When I was growing up, we lived right next to the interstate. There were several instances when the stereo in my room would pick up CB radio (or maybe even cell phone, I'm not sure) conversations.

And DB, I guess the moral of your story is--don't commit a crime in your house without turning off the baby monitor first :)

Most cell phones are now digital, as opposed to the old analog. Baby monitors, older cordless phones, etc, are also analog, and their signals can be received by scanners. Digitals are not 100% secure, but require additional (costly) equipment. As for transformers humming, it can be for various reasons. The main one are magnetic fields generated which cause the parts to vibrate. Or it can be magnetostriction. Then there is corona discharge (you hear that from power lines.) UHF broadband? Not heard of that

About checking your ip means make sure your signal if from your service provider. Not the one your highway patrol may be on. Read up on allocacted phones they reach out to what ever signal is stronger.Those transformers jtt.power sometimes ten thousand homes with dailup and that's public like wifi that's what a cellphone does dial up internet. Ha ha. Its not about big bro. Its about your rigts to privacy big bro can just pull u over and scan your grannys picture on yur device. Or maybe that certain sumthan your buddy was gonna check on for ya. ha

I guess that's one way for us to communicate. Say J.P.

Don't be so sure it is not big brother.They can already see you at home thru your fiber optic cable t.v.so make sure you are decent and they can also see thru your house so you can run but not hide.Why did they really make us all get those black t.v.boxes a few years ago or else we would have no t.v.?Why is the sky full of satellites? At night you can see at least one it is in the lower atmosphere and shines very brightly and has both a green light and a red one it is in two segment's.Recently another one has gotten closer to the bigger one.On a cloudy night when you can see no stars most always you can see the satellite.I have been watching it for about four years and know where it is at certain times.You have to be careful where you go on the computer as there is an evil group of people some where who have a way of using the emf waves or something like that to use mind control for evil things.They get you at eye level and use a hypnotic spell and you never know it.They say it has already been done to thousands of Americans and already in the mid east where thousands of soldiers lay down their weapons and walked forward.A year or so back i got on one of those sites when looking for something in the medical field it even said so,i left in a hurry and never went back.My computer has messed up and sent me back to the Google home page 3 times while typing this.So i watch all cell phones and my computer cause we are never alone it's all monitored.
