Who, James Bond or your ordinary Joe?

We have all watched spy stories or 007 movies, where the latest (and sometimes most unreal) gadgets were used to kill or neutralize enemies, or just to listen to their conversations from a safe distance.

At those times, this kind of devices looked like something that could exist only on the big screen, or on news reports.
In the same fashion, years later, the first mobile phones, those brick-shaped and brick-heavy machines that could hardly be called handsets, looked just like another spy-story gadget, likely to be seen only in movies or in the hands of a lucky few.

The rest is history, mobile phones can be found virtually anywhere and we can be reached even in the most remote corners of the globe. And they are smaller and smaller every day, due to the miniaturization of electronics.

The same miniaturization is also visible as far as wiretapping is concerned. Nowadays, the so-called Miniaturized Bugs are smaller than the ones we could see in movies, and much more powerful and effective, with a longer transmission range and much less possibilities of being detected.

And as it happens commonly with new technologies, the best results can be achieved when miniaturized bugs meet miniaturized phones. This means that the most advanced of these listening devices feature an in-built GSM SIM card, which allows the bug to function basically like a cellphone, relaying the conversation to a third party safely waiting in any location where they can be reached by a phone call.

GSM Bugs can be programmed remotely, by sending a simple SMS, and can be set to activate automatically when they detect a sound, or when a car starts.

This kind of items can be purchased, along with many more, on specialized Online Spy Shops, along with several items for the security of your personal and business interests.
