(n.) A miniature electronic device that records sounds and transmits the playback to a remote receiver. Usually placed in internal settings, it's installed with regard toward optimal concealment and
acoustic clarity. (There have been many
new modifications to the genre of "bugs" from environment adaptability to signal transmission
type. Due to the 4th Amendment, all forms of U.S. law enforcement require court permission along with strict rules in the use of these devices.)
Spetsnaz agents used a bug to capture
enemy conversations in order to
learn the whereabouts of POW camps and artillery encampments in the Soviet-Afghanistan
War.
