Just getting into this book.
It sems that for many years the USA government has had the ability to remotely 
activate cell-phones and turn them into listening devices. In 2006 a federal 
judge ruled that the FBI's use of so-called roving bugs - turning a person's 
own cell phone into a listening device, was legal.
The only defence - remove the battery, or in the case of phones the batteries 
of which can not be removed - put the phone into a fridge and close the door.
