      The whole area of consumer products with built-in bugging
potential is getting out of hand.  It might be worth raising this
issue with the FCC, which to a limited extent regulates telephone
instruments.  They could at least insist on a labelling requirement.

      So far, I know of the following devices which have bugging
potential:

	Baby monitors
	Cordless phones
	Some Rolm PBX phones
	Some AT&T ISDN phones

Any more?
