If Your Coffee Table Bugs You

Perhaps you could get a cool $3 million from the U.S. government. A former government worker did: “The U.S. has agreed to pay $3 million to a former government worker who accused officials with the CIA and State Department of spying on him with a bugged coffee table.

Rather than comply with a court order to provide lawyers in the case with what the U.S. government says is classified information, the government has agreed to settle to end the 15-year-old suit.” http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/11/coffee-table-suit/

Creepy stuff. I’d write more, but my desk is watching me.
