Short from {USA Today}:

        "If you are thinking about declaring a few imaginary
dependents this year, don't mention it on your cordless phone.  The
IRS may be listening.  Under new guidelines for its criminal
investigators, the IRS can use radio scanners to eavesdrop on
suspected tax dodgers while they chat on their cordless phones.  No
warrant is necessary."
