First of all, The Conversation was made in 1974, over 40 years ago. The first
cell phone (if you can call it that) was made available 10 years later. Second,
the idea that a telemarketer is going to devote the kind of technology your
describing, to monitoring you, is beyond believable. If you were working on
something with a top secret clearance, possibly a government would be
interested.

I brought this subject up some time ago, and I hadn't given it any

some
method where they can listen to your telephone even when it is hung up. I was
reminded
of this while watching a movie "The Conversation" where a surveillance expert
demonstrates a device for doing just that.
About a week ago, I came home and closed the front door firmly,
immediately after which the telephone rang with a telemarketer on the other
end. A couple of days later I was sorting out some bicycle parts near the
phone, and immediately after I dropped a part into a can, making a loud noise,
the telephone rang with a telemarketer at the other end.
I'm a firm believer in Gibbs Rule #39, which says that there is no such
thing as a coincidence. I've had too many instances where the telephone rings
immediately after maing a loud noise, such as closing a door or making some
other form of loud noise. This practice of eavesdropping on your phone while
it is hung up to detect if someone is home has got to be grossly illegal.
