America's Private Eye
- Spying in the 1990s is big business. Spying used to mean James Bond and secret government agencies fighting the Cold War, but not these days.
Now, spying often hits close to home as well as a company's bottom line. Our bosses read our e-mail and know how long we've been away from our desks. Whenever we enter a store, our every movement is recorded by hidden cameras. If we cheat on our wives, can we really trust that beautiful blonde giving us the eye across the bar? And who is that listening in on our cell-phone conversations?
It is estimated that Americans spend roughly $300 million a year at spy shops. An estimated $2.1 billion was spent on closed circuit video equipment to monitor wireless communications, such as cell-phones.
