Ever since I watched the movie “Casino,” and saw the under boss of KC get caught via a bug through the ceiling vent, I have been staring for hours at my vent and wondering if this could happen to me. I mean I live in a college apt and I hear stories about landlords looking in on college students… so my mind tends to wander at times. So to put my mind at rest can somebody out there please tell me a quick and easy way to see if my apt is bugged or being watched via a hidden camera?
Thank You
Dude, you’re more paranoid than I am.
Depending on the type of surveillance, there are many options. If you’re concerned with someone looking in through the vent, just cover the damn thing. There are scanners and etc. that you can buy from spy stores (depending on what you’re looking for, it might be illegal), but as I undestand, these only really work on wireless devices. If it’s got a cable…you’re screwed. You can also hire professionals to come and conduct “surveillance audits.” Check your yellow pages, but know that if they’re really watching you closely, they’ll take down the equipment while you’re out and the guys won’t find anything and then you’ll have wasted your money.
My advice: learn to live with it.
