Dressing Area

In my "Bedside Matters" post of 5/15/11, I discussed my findings of strong radio frequency (RF) signals and obvious signs of tampering at the backs of a set of tall built-in cabinets located on the other side of the wall behind the head of my bed that are strongly indicative of the presence of illegal devices sealed inside the wall there.

I'm now in the process of going back to some areas of our house where we have not yet found signs of illegal surveillance devices but, for various reasons, have good reasons for suspecting they might be installed there. One such area is the small dressing area just off my bedroom where the built-in cabinets mentioned above are located.

Once I checked the dressing area more carefully, it didn't take long to locate an area of strong localized RF signals in the corner of the outside of the built-ins, on the side next to my closet. (See first photo below.) And sure enough, there's a suspicious-looking hole in the moulding there (second photograph).

I suspect this is the fiber optic end of an illegal surveillance camera that is sealed inside the wall between the dressing area and the side of my closet. A camera installed in this particular location would have a clear view all the way down the length of the area where I usually get dressed and undressed each day. It would also be pointed straight at the bathroom sinks and mirror, a second closet that forms the entrance to our attic, and into the entrance of the area where my children and I shower.

Bedside Matters

There are two large built-in wooden storage cabinets in the small dressing area that's just off my bedroom in our house. These are shown below.

When I realized there had to be a significant amount of empty space behind the wall above them, I pulled everything out of these cabinets and checked them. Sure enough, the backs of both sides give off radio frequency (RF) signals indicative of the presence of illegal surveillance cameras and microphones installed behind them. And now that I know what to look for, it's easy to spot the telltale large, new, crude screws and scratches and pry marks that show where the wooden backs of the cabinets were pulled open to insert the illegal equipment and then quickly screwed and glued closed. There's electrical wiring for a light switch located nearby that's convenient for tying into, too.

The head of my bed sits up against the other side of this wall and is located directly behind these cabinets.
