Cindy Sheehan's hotel room in Denver bugged?
   
Cindy Sheehan returned to her Denver hotel room today to find the door unlocked and ajar. She walked in to discover a man working on her phone, screw driver in hand.

Sheehan reported, in an email,

"As I walked toward my room, I noticed that the door was opened with the security bolt blocking the complete closing of the door. I knew immediately that I had not left the door open, and I double checked to make sure it was the right room because, as a frequent traveler, I have been known to forget my room number, but it was the right room.

I was upset at first thinking that housekeeping had made a mistake and left my room open and I was worried that something might be missing. So I walked into my room and bigger than life, there was a man standing by my desk holding the room phone with a screwdriver in his hand!

bwahahahahaha, Cindy thinks the poor repairman was there 1960s style bugging her hotel phone.  In the age of cell phones does anyone even use hotel room phones anymore?

Further, since everyone carries cell phones these days, including Saint Cindy, all you have to do is ping the phone to track her or send the phone a few lines of code to activate it's speakeer and transmitter without her knowledge.

Ain't technology cool.

Oh my.

The primitives are giving the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher flak about this.

The dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher insists Cindy's a friend of hers, and the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher trusts her friends.

Doug's ex-wife is being an idiot, as usual.

114. It's unreal isn't it?
   
What does it take to convince these people?

I became a real believer the second time I went to Crawford and was followed from Camp Casey to my hotel 30 miles away at 11:00 at night. Next day I went home and my email account was frozen for 10 days. Same thing happened to the email accounts of several people who were at Camp Casey. Cell phones mysteriously stopped working also.

And why in the world would anyone want to make this up? If you have ever experienced it, you know it isn't fun or anything to brag about either.

155. Ever since I became involved in the national peace movement
   
after meeting Cindy, I have seen many unbelievable things. I now question every click I hear on my cell phone and every time I have trouble opening my email and every car that parks in front of my house. I have seen too much to trust my government.

Cindy gets death threats. She has every reason to be suspicious and would be stupid if she wasn't.

Here in my city when we protest against the war, someone stands on the roof of a building across the street and takes our pictures. Cops write down our license numbers. And none of us are as high profile as Cindy Sheehan. But you bet they are watching us.

1. She's not important enough to bug.
   
No offense to Cindy, but she just isn't relevant anymore.

Remember, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher has some, uh, problems with the misarrangement of those things that make her a woman, and so is prone to making up reality inside her head.

Is there anyone besides frick and frack over there that gives a rat's ass about anything Cindy Sheehan says anymore?  Seriously, who would go to the trouble of bugging her room?  What do they want to hear, her playing with her boyfriend BOB* everynight, and eating her boogers?

Here is a transcript from the bugging of the Peace Hustler's room:

Hi, room service? I'd like a club sandwich and a fifth of vidka sent to my room. And did you know my son, Casey, was killed in Bush's illegal war?

Hi, room service? I was just reminding you that my son Casey was killed in Bush's illegal war.

Hi, is this Aaron Aasted? Hi, I'm Cindy Sheehan. I just wanted you to know that my son, Casey, was killed in Bush's illegal war. What's that? Oh, well, your name is first in the Denver phone book.

(and so on)

Hi, Zelmo Zygsky? Hi, I'm Cindy Sheehan. I just wanted you to know that my son, Casey, was killed in Bush's illegal war. What's that? Oh, well, your name is last in the Denver phone book.

Hi, is this the Denver Rhinoplasty Institute? Do you do pro bono work? Well, thanks anyway.

What do you mean I can't call Caracas direct? Did Bush buy you off, too?

Is this the front desk? Hi. Can you please unlock my porn movies? Are there any selections for MIPIIFs? MIPIIFs. You know, Moms I'd Puke If I ****ed. No? Why not?




Not much going on there, I don't think.

Gotta love the mental gymnastics Doug's Ex and proud2badumbass go through everytime a Hugo or Saint Cindy thread pops up.  First they both sign-up to the idea that some mysterious telephone repairman is planting a phone bug.  After a hundred posts back and forth that basically say that it's ridiculous that a phone tap would be planted in the manner described, they go into super-secret "we have information you don't have" mode.  Of course, they keep implying that the original article has some really subtle message that only the "pure" can decipher.  Of course they can't reveal that secret message.  Finally, after 300 posts, somebody gives them an out and asks if the phone was being bugged or was it a room bug.  Proudtobe2anidiot does cart-wheels because she has an out for her stupidity.

325. I am glad you have moved from the phone to the room
 Looks like you are starting to get it

So the big secret these two have been attempting to reveal to the unwashed masses is the subtle distinction between having the phone bugged and the room bugged.  They couldn't just come out and say it.  The lesser beings needed to obtain that knowledge on their own initiative.  The fact that the story still doesn't make any sense is lost in their little minds.  They honestly believe that reality can be twisted, stretched and molded like taffy (or Saint Cindy's neck wattle).  I don't believe it's possible to be so delusional without the benefit of serious psychotropics.

2. The story she tells of walking in on someone using a
   
screwdriver on her hotel room phone... would be appropriate for a 1960's "bugging" op, nowadays there are MUCH easier ways to plant bugs (hell, you don't even need to ever risk going in the room).

Sorry, wrong again.  Ever since the invention of the step-switch phone dialing system it has been much easier to just bug the line going to a phone rather than the phone. 

If you want to bug a hotel room, you would just plug something into an outlet that isn't exposed or even better, put the "air freshener" right out in plain sight.  These are the really simple obvious ones.

It's so much more reliable to have a sensitive listening device exposed to relatively erratic and potentially excessive ring voltage, then, oh I don't know, batteries?  He-he.

Most modern hotels use a PBX or key system with digital phones.  Ring voltage is a thing of the past with these types of phone systems.  The phones beep, or chirp, just like a cell phone.

That's what's so funny about the DUmmies claim that somebody was trying to place a bug in Sheehan's phone.  Anyone who can operate an alligator clip can tap a PBX.  And key systems can be easily digitally trapped.  Neither system require physical placement of any listening device.   Everything they know about surveillance they learned reading Ian Fleming novels.

That's what's so funny about the DUmmies claim that somebody was trying to place a bug in Sheehan's phone.  Anyone who can operate an alligator roach clip can tap a PBX.  And key systems can be easily digitally trapped.  Neither system require physical placement of any listening device.   Everything they know about surveillance they learned reading Ian Fleming novels comic books.

Fixed.  :II:

Most modern hotels use a PBX or key system with digital phones.  Ring voltage is a thing of the past with these types of phone systems.  The phones beep, or chirp, just like a cell phone.
