 TSCM - Common Bugging Frequencies
Bugging devices may utilize any frequency between DC and light; however, this list will cover the more common bugging frequencies that tend to be used by eavesdroppers.
Remember: Bugs are always installed in groups of at least three: the one that was easy to find (the fools bug), the one that you will find if you really work hard (the novices bug), and then the real bug; that's almost impossible to find (the professional spies bug).
During a bug sweep or TSCM inspection all phone rooms, riser closets, demarcation points, and boots, must all be checked for tampering and electromagnetic anomalies (RF activity).

  Bugging, bribes and bullying: US thuggery in advance of UN vote
The Bush administration’s methods in seeking to obtain UN sanction for war with Iraq are indicative of the real character of the impending military action: the United States government is acting as an international gangster, not only in its treatment of Baghdad, but in relation to the other members of the Security Council.
For weeks the US government has been exerting pressure, in the form of bribes and threats, on the six countries whose votes on the Security Council are still considered up for grabs—Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Mexico, Guinea and Pakistan.
White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer refused to comment, but did not deny the US was bugging the UN representatives of other countries.

  Bugging Frequencies
Bugging devices can appear on any frequency between DC and light, this list covers the more common bugging frequencies that tend to be used.
The area of spectrum from 35mhz to 500mhz is the primary threat, 500mhz to 3ghz is the secondary threat, a "line carrier" threat is from 30khz to 750khz.
Also, keep in mind that AID devices are frequently used for illegal buggings, so be familiar with what their realistic specs are, expect power outputs under 50mw, and expect to see the AC power circuits being used as the antennae.

Second, the laws regarding bugging and recording vary significantly by jurisdiction so what is legal in one state may be illegal in another.

These bugging devices were built in the UK in the 80s, twelve devices for £25,000 each.
Therefore, you can't really say that bugging is a sport enjoyed by companies with three or four letters in their logos only, the whole development has rather gained its own momentum.

 Bugging of Sadiq Khan demonstrates that Britain is a Police State for Muslims
Khan who is a lawyer by profession and who is viewed as a rising star in Gordon Brown's government, was bugged during two visits to Woodhill Prison to discuss legal matters with his Tooting constituent Babar Ahmed, currently being detained under an extradition request from the US government for alleged terror offences.
The bugging of MPs is a breach of a government edict that has barred law agencies from eavesdropping on politicians since the bugging scandal of Harold Wilson's government in the 60's.
Indeed, the bugging of Sadiq Khan, whose secular liberal credentials are second to none, sends a very clear message to our community that no matter how much you integrate within the British political system you will always be viewed as an outsider and as a threat for nothing more than being Muslim.

 Finger Points At Police Over Bugging Claim (from The Herald )
Suspicion last night centred on the police over who gave the authorisation for the alleged bugging of a Muslim MP's conversations with a terror suspect in prison after Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, said ministers were not involved.
Reports suggested that it was an officer from the Thames Valley force who sanctioned the supposed eavesdropping of conversations in 2005 and 2006 between Sadiq Khan, Labour MP for Tooting in London, and Babar Ahmad, an inmate at Woodhill Prison in Buckinghamshire, whom the US authorities want extradited over claims he ran a pro-terror website.
It was claimed that the officer reputedly involved is facing disciplinary action on an unrelated matter, but will insist that he had the approval of his chief constable in the alleged bugging case.

 Report into MP bugging: MP was bugged, no laws broken | The Register
The bugging of Khan was requested by the Metropolitan Police, and correctly authorised by senior plods in accordance with the rules.
Bugging - in particular, wiretap intercepts - against MPs are also subject to the obscure "Wilson doctrine".
Furthermore, the current rather lackadaisical supervision of police bugging may very well need to be brought into line with the spook regime.

But he added: "If it was the case...that constituents were having their conversations with members of Parliament bugged, then it clearly means the whole relationship and the basis on which that relationship has been based for decades and, dare I say centuries, is undermined."

The use of intercept evidence in court for the first time could be stalled by demands from the intelligence services for a right of veto over the use of the transcripts from their secret bugging operations.

 Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea
The JoongAng Ilbo and Samsung Group on Monday issued qualified apologies to the nation but admitted no guilt over alleged illegal campaign contributions in 1997 which broadcaster MBC says are revealed by a secretly recorded dinner conversation between executives of the two companies.
The Agency for National Security Planning allegedly ran a secret bugging team that recorded dinner conversations of key political, financial and media figures during the Kim Young-sam administration.
The JoongAng Ilbo complained that although there exist an estimated 8,000 bugging tapes, "an issue is being made of only one particular corporation and the JoongAng Ilbo," while Samsung muttered about "distortions and exaggerations." That has given rise to speculation that the two apologies could mark the first stage of a counterattack including legal action.

Jim Holland told the hearing that service providers would find it too expensive to install the bugging equipment and this would drive them out of business, the report said.
The proposed new laws, which will allow the police, tax authorities and the president's security staff to order that an individual be placed under surveillance, have alarmed NGOs and the media who fear they will be targeted for surveillance if perceived to be critical of government.
A legal officer from the Media Institute of Southern Africa told the hearing that the Bill contained provisions similar to those in an earlier Post and Telecommunications Act that were nullified by the Supreme Court because they contravened freedom of information, according to the paper.
