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.

Pfft. CHUCK NORRIS, bitch!
Wait, now I'm confused. Who are your F and M choices?
24: I want
one of those Tasers
!!1! Chloe rules, but then we know that.

The taser was such a nice Chloe touch. I wonder if that was wrought by the Hand of Fury. I thought of Fred and Connor, even when she'd only done it the first time.

In the days when it was in use, I picked up other people's heated arguments on my cheap, old baby monitor. They must have had one on the same frequency, or whatever. It was very disconcerting, the first time it happened. I was all, "Who is in the BABY'S ROOM?!?" I seem to recall it picking up phone calls too, but it's been so long, I'm not sure.
Robot Chicken
I finally caught up with that last night and that bit killed. Also loved the
Batman bit.
Was that the first new episode of the year?Nope, and dammit. According to TV.COM, the first show of the new season was 4/2. Also, I missed the damn Xmas Special.
24: ....made me laugh out loud. Twice.
Let me guess:
The taser? I loved the casualness of it. By the way, any thoughts on how the Blue Tooth Group (courtesy of TT) are tapping in on Chloe's phone calls?
Cindy, re 24, I totally
thought of taser!Fred when Chloe first zapped the guy.
