The spooky world of covert electronic surveillance and countermeasures by governments, corporations, and individuals is veiled in secrecy, intrigue, and myth. Few people are well qualified to speak authoritatively about it, and fewer still are willing to. Hear firsthand from one of the most legendary and respected wiretap and bugging experts in the United States about some of the methods and technologies used, some case studies, and the future of privacy and surveillance from an insider’s viewpoint.

Marty Kaiser
For over 50 years Marty Kaiser has designed and built electronic systems used for government surveillance and countersurveillance by the FBI, CIA, DEA, Secret Service, Army, Navy, Air Force Intelligence, etc., as well as for the intelligence agencies of Egypt, Argentina, and Canada, and for many commercial and private entities. After being subpoenaed to testify before the National Wiretap Commission about corruption and abuse of authority within the FBI, he himself became an FBI target in a bizarre case that cost him his life savings to be vindicated in federal court. Marty has documented all this in his book, Odyssey of an Eavesdropper - My Life in Electronic Countermeasures and My Battle Against the FBI.
