A sensor previously used for military operations can now be tuned to secretly locate and record any single conversation on a busy street
EVERYONE knows that to have a private chat in the NSA era, you go outdoors. Phones, the internet, email and your office can all be compromised with ease. But soon even that whispered conversation in the park may no longer be safe from prying ears.
Carrying out covert audio surveillance along a city street or a wooded path, say, currently requires parabolic microphones, which look like large, clear salad bowls and need a direct, unobstructed view of the subject. Hardly 007 territory.
Now, a Dutch acoustics firm, Microflown Technologies, has developed a matchstick-sized sensor that can pinpoint and record a target's conversations from a distance.
Known as an acoustic vector sensor, Microflown's sensor measures the movement of air, disturbed by sound waves, to almost instantly locate where a sound originated. It can then identify the noise and, if required, transmit it live to waiting ears.

We are truly are in the last days. May God give us the strength to stand up to this evil. Now all the naysayers can easily see how soon....Revelation 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.…
Stand strong against the Antichrist system, and be of good cheer, for Jesus has overcome the world!
Easily, if inelegantly, defeated. Hush masks and cable. Heck, two syphons and a length of garden hose. A white noise emitter will make sure that even if they do tune in on the locale, they won’t get much.
I use an Etch-a Sketch for all my secret conversations.
But can you sketch as fast as ELF?
Short hand!
I would have loved to have one of these in the Senate during the cloture vote!
I now talk exclusively in pig Latin.
I think my wife would buy one for me.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Only if you know it's there.
Remember, such tools can also be used against those who we have great differences with such as odumbo himself and his ilk.
Santa, I want a baseball cap with video camera lens, microphone and voice command that securely loads what I see and hear to the internet. Yes, in freakin deed.
You have to think that it’s only a matter of time before an industry develops around defeating all surveillance.
White noise generator.
Once a technology or capability exists, someone or some organization within the federal government will use it.
Regardless of rules, regulations, the law, the constitution or the will of the people.
What makes this even more diabolical is that there are "civilian" companies full of "private citizens" from which all this technology is coming. They are stitching together their own demise.
Well it’s a Dutch company so the Orwellian NSA isn’t really the bad guy in this one. I work in radar and signal processing world and I am fascinated at the possibilities of such a sensor for problems other than eavesdropping.
