Any method to tell if my phone line or cable line is tapped?

Cable line because internet is over that and phone line just because I want to know.

Any tests I can run? Feel free to PM me for other methods of communication if you wish
 
isn't there some sort of soft clicking noise when you first pick up the phone?

that's what some girl I knew in college told me at least. she was a muslim and it was post-9/11, so I figured she knew what she was talking about 😉
 
yes you eat a taco and forget you ever thought of the notion that im watching you

Start looking into commerical explosives online, make many calls to Afghanistan, and wear a turban.

Oh and don't forget to buy fertilizer by the truck load.

Enrolling in flight school wouldn't hurt either.

And diesel fuel by the barrel. 😉
 
Oh and BTW it's kind of hard to detect that your cable is tapped IF the appliance provided by your cable company already has the capability integrated to the device running said (desired) tasks encapsulated into atypical functions.

The cable system is begging to be used as a means to provide an uncanny medium to spy on the homeowner/business but I will not disclose much more than this on a public forum.

There's no need to be candid. Tapping traffic is cake - it's just that the amount of storage needed to do it on a wide scale is prohibitive, so it's limited to single incidents.

Ok, lets think this thru. I presume you want to know if the line has been professionally tapped (e.g. police, fbi, mil, etc) not that someone put a recorder into your demark. If so, realize that the interception framework is part of the phone system. And since it's used against organized crime families, terrorst suspects, etc, making sure that you CAN'T tell is one of it's primary goals.

So, if somone tells you (like say Aimster) that they can tell when there phones are tapped. They are stupid, nuts, or lying (or all 3 in some cases...)

Back in the old days when phones were first invented it might have been possible to tell. Now the only way to tell is to send out multiple communications indicating when and where you plan on a$$a$$inating someone famous, or that some bodies are buried in your backyard, then wait for the cops.
