Re:Cordless Telephones: Bye Bye Privacy (1991) by Vivtek on Monday February 15, 2016 @07:30PM (#11107104)
When I was in school at Rose-Hulman, the Dean of Students lived in an apartment attached to one of the dorms (my own dorm, as it happened). He had a teenaged daughter, and at the time, Rose was all-male.

They had a cordless phone.

Some brilliant EE thought it would be a good idea not only to eavesdrop on the daughter, but to put that audio on his stereo at extremely high volume.

The Dean very quickly no longer had a cordless phone, and as I recall (it's been a long time) that student no longer had a place at Rose-Hulman.
