Got the following from a radio program this morning, on station KVI in
Seattle, concerning the pros and cons of the Clipper Chip (mostly con):
If you want to know whether your phone has been tapped in the last six
months, dial in the following:
107 321 404 988 966 4
What you will get back is a digital recording consisting of (a) your phone's
area code; (b) your 7-digit phone-number; (c) the digit 8; (d) a pause of
a few seconds; (e) 9 zeroes in three groups of three -- 000 000 000; and
(f) a digit. If the digit (f) is a 2, your phone is clear. Otherwise, if it
is any other digit (usually it's a 1 in that case), your phone has been
tapped in the last six months.
