I have never been a conspiracy theorist but I suspect that a particular
group of people may try to tap my landline.
I am in the UK and access to my phone wires is quite easy because I live
in a block of flats. There are various oblong concrete covers for the
BT and VirginMedia lines to the flats.
Currently I use VirginMedia for phone service.
I wonder if a tap which juts picks up the signal modulation on a line
but does not interrupt it can be detected at all.
Can I perform any checks?
Can I ask VM to do any checks?
As I am dealing with some odd folks, I would like to have the line
checked regularly but would VirginMedia be prepared to do this?

PeterD is dead on right. That is *absolutely* true.

If the police/spooks are doing it, they'll do it in software at the
exchange so there'll be nothing to see.
