Many states allow employers to record all common areas of the building -- including offices. Most of us are used to being monitored when using the company's computers, but it is unnerving to think of being secretly monitored in the office.

Generally, any monitoring should only be done as a condition of your employment. There are very narrow lines where spying is allowed. Regardless of your position in an organization, no senior official or executive has the right to record you unless done lawfully.

Years ago, only heavy audio recording devices were available for collecting audio recordings. They were pretty bulky by today's standards. Those devices often worked within a minimal range and picked up a lot of background noise.

The spy industry has transformed mightily in the past ten years. Small, highly technical listening devices worldwide have entirely changed the bugging device market.

Handheld Body-worn cameras are normally items such as pens, flash drives, and even Bluetooth earpieces. More advanced body-worn kits can have audio, extra battery packs, and even a built-in LCD screen on the DVR to be able to review video anywhere, anytime. Less expensive models like glasses or pens require the video to be played off the SD card and usually through a computer. Some other items can be connected directly to a monitor to review footage.

When choosing a spot to hide a voice recorder, there are two main factors you'll want to consider. First, you'll want to pick a spot where your target cannot easily see the recorder. And fortunately, a vehicle offers many great hiding places to choose from. Second, you need to find a spot...

During the Cold War, technology was already getting smaller and smaller. But it was still hard to conceal entire radio transmitter devices on a person without making it evident to the people in their vicinity. 

Fortunately, the Spy Shoe transmitter made it easy for agents to carry a radio transmitter deep into enemy territory discreetly.
