Big Brother is Watching

It’s hard to pick up a newspaper and not find an opinion piece or article analysing the Big Brother society we currently live within. There is an ongoing debate over the spy equipment used in our everyday life escalated from CCTV cameras on street corners to tracking devices in supermarket tills.

 

You may even be shopping for more than you bargained for next time you head down to the local supermarket thanks to the radio frequency ID tags used to monitor customer’s shopping habits. This aids supermarkets in identifying best sellers and using the information for product placement, end of aisle bargains and complimentary products. In 2008 in America certain civil organisations announced they would boycott shopping at supermarkets that used these tags.

 

Whether this can be classified as spy equipment or simply using technology to exploit commercial opportunities is another matter. Supermarkets argue it is there to improve products and their availability, whereas certain consumers believe that any equipment that allows products to be tracked is an intrusion on their human rights. However, this kind of technology can eliminate wasteful overproduction and improve stock levels, with many consumers accepting this type of equipment is not technically ‘spying’. The controversy over these ‘spy chips’ originated when a radio frequency ID tracking system was used in razor blades to catch shoplifters. Any consumer who picked up the razor blades automatically triggered CCTV surveillance of themselves. Either way it goes to show how mundane or daily activities can be deemed an infringement on personal rights, with companies depending on spy techniques such as the above to gain an edge over the competition.

Spy Equipment – Not just for the Movies

If you’ve seen James Bond or Mission Impossible you would have seen amazing spy gadgets and equipment, but these products aren’t just limited to the movies anymore. There are many reasons why people invest in spy equipment, although these don’t tend to be as glamorous or adventurous as those needed by 007 in the James Bond movies. But the spy equipment available in the real world is just as impressive as the gadgets from the movies.

 

Spy equipment and spying has always fired the imagination of film makers; using spy equipment to eavesdrop, taking on fake identities, deceit, danger and tension all make for good plots. Ian Fleming, who created James Bond, worked in naval intelligence during World War II and was inspired by the spy equipment he came across in the real world. For example, the poison needle pen in Moonraker was similar to a fountain pen detonator supplied to the British during the Second World War.

 

Without going into depth about what spy equipment can be used for (use your imagination), the diverse range of spy equipment available for general public use is staggering. Everyday objects that you would expect to come across can vary from house spy cameras; from alarm clocks that wake you up in the morning, the pen you use at work, the smoke detector in your hallway to the watch you wear all day. If you’re worried about spy equipment being used on you, sweepers can spot bugs and scanning devices. Modern technology means that the most sophisticated covert communication devices and spy equipment is now available.

 

The popularity of buying spy equipment is in a large part down to the availability of such products online, where people can buy what they want without feeling they have to explain the reasons behind their purchases. It’s like a toy shop for wannabe James Bonds!
