Sounds very technical.

Very advanced analysis, and very good advice. I assume that this
could possibly theoretically effect some legacy cellphones too,
maybe, I think... likely or not? You tell me.

oh *** i need to get back in character.

Jim,
In all reality you don't have to be an agent to do this. You
could just
write an exploit that when successfully executed would compromise
the target
and then fetch an application from a remote site. I'm sure that
things like
this have been done in the past. Hell imagine what you could do
with a web
cam! ;]

New telephones are no different I'm sure.

I started this discussion elsewhere, but I feel that there is
more
experience and concern here. When I look at BIOS settings I

options to disable sound cards, USB, CDROM, INTs, etc., but what
about
the PC or laptop microphone? Does disabling the sound card
remove the
availability of a built-in microphone? What if I want to play
mp3s but
never have the need to use a microphone? Given recent info about
the US
FBIs capabilities to remotely enable mobile phone microphones
(presumably via corporate cellular service providers), what
prevents my
OS provider (or distribution) and ISP from working on a way to
listen in
on my office or home conversations via the microphone or the
built-in
speakers? Thoughts?
