BUGS DETECTION AND ELECTRONICS SWEEPS

DEBUGGING SYSTEM (TSCM)

These terms refer to the procedure for locating covert surveillance devices in your office, home, on phone lines, etc. Whatever the vernacular, the official technical term is TSCM, or Technical Surveillance counter Measures. Generically, it is frequently refer to TSCM practitioners as 'sweepers'.

Electronic Countermeasures or TSCM uses Bug Detection and Tap Detection technologies for room and phone privacy using bug detectors, signal analyzers, radio receivers, and tap detectors.

Are your conversations bugged? Are your phone conversations wiretapped? Do you have private matters that need to stay private?

Detect surreptitious eavesdropping equipment used illegally to steal secrets and private information. Privacy invading equipment (in the form of Electronic Bugging) can cause serious personal problems, destroy a small or big business, and fuel industrial espionage.

• Electronic Debugging is fast becoming a must for any professional business or competitive          organization.
• We live and work in some dangerous environment with all these electronic threats.Will it ever end? The truth is, it won't!!
• Your competitors will do and give anything to find out what developments or business strategies you are coming up with.
• With the low cost of modern technology, it is becoming quite affordable to purchase and install bugs and other listening devices.
• This is why Electronic Bug Detection is now so important. Even if you are unsure for certain, or simply have that gut feeling, we strongly recommend that you have the building or area swept for listening devices. It is a small price to pay for your with peace of mind.

TYPES OF BUG

There are five primary categories of "Bugs": (Acoustic, Ultrasonic, RF, Optical, and Hybrid).

An Acoustic Bug is the placing of a water glass, stethoscope, or rubber tube into an area and directly intercepting the communication with the naked ear (without the use of electronics). This also applies to sections of an area where sound is leaking though soft spots around windows, structural defects, ventilation structures, poorly installed power outlets, and so on.

An Ultrasonic or VLF Bug is a technique use to convert the sound into an audio signal above the range of human hearing, the ultrasonic signal is then intercepted nearby and converted back to audio. In this case audio pressure waves are used instead of creating a radio signal.

An RF (or Radio Frequency) Bug is the most well known type of bugging device. A radio transmitter is placed in an area or in a device. This is your classic martini olive bug and "spy shop" store device. Extremely easy to detect, but cheap, disposable, and difficult to trace back to the person who planted it. A properly equipped TSCM specialist can actually detect this kind of device at a significant distance, but it does require some time to properly accomplish. Keep in mind that any legitimate bug sweep takes hours, not minutes).

An Optical Bug is a bugging device that converts sound (or data) into an optical pulse or beam of light. It is rarely used, expensive, and easy to detect. A good example of this would be active or passive laser listening devices.

Any of the above techniques and devices can be combined to make a Hybrid eavesdropping device.

WARNING SIGN THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BUGGED

• You have noticed strange sounds or volume changes on your phone lines. Commonly caused by an amateur eavesdropper when they attach the actual wiretap, or similar listening device.
• Surveillance devices often cause slight anomalies on the telephone line such a volume shift or drop-out. Professional eavesdroppers and their equipment usually do not make such noises.
• You have noticed static, popping, or scratching on your phone lines. This is caused by the capacitive discharge, which occurs when two conductors are connected together (such as a bug or wiretap on a phone line). This is also a sign that an amateur eavesdropper or poorly trained spy is playing with your phone liness .
• If you find a "squealer" in this manner then immediately contact Akhbar & Associates TSCM Unit and schedule a consultation. We will conduct a thorough checking both electronically and manually.
