Yeah but, when the cell-phone in the pants of a coworker starts howling in an open-mike feedback loop between the cell-phone, the office intercom system, and the laptop belonging to a Soviet-Vintage Ukrainian immigrant who evidently thought he was secretly recording a conversation about “HAM Radio” and FSK encryption... that’s not really much of a “secret” anymore.
