OMG I'm a dolt -- I was totally picturing a scene like when the movie-FBI has to listen to the bugs on the movie-Mafia people's phones.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I googled
cordless phone credit card scanner fraud
and came up with warnings based on the theory that it could happen, but so far no hard stats....

Found this:
Newer digital cordless phones have better security, but cheaper or older phones have few if any security features. Anyone using a radio scanner can eavesdrop on older analog cordless phone calls, even if the phone has multiple channels.
Oh. Good to know.
eta: This somewhat contradics that, but it's from a site that seems to be designed to scare people:
2) Before you make that call--don't use your cordless or cellular phone. Supply sensitive information only on phones connected by wire to your phone outlet. Unless your cordless or cellular phone is an expensive, code-scrambling model, anyone with the appropriate radiowave scanning device can overhear your conversation including your account information and your new password.
Still haven't found any stats or even descriptions of actual cases.

Madonna, protest singer:
Madonna radically altered her music to attack US President George W Bush during her appearance at California music festival Coachella, yesterday.
...
During an energetic rendition of her song I Love New York, Madonna roared, “Just go to Texas and suck George Bush’s dick.”

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
