      Hard to make a comparison. Is a spy at a meeting and reading physical mail really different from… spys at meetings and reading electronic communications?

      The big difference probably isn’t that modern – it’s bugs that record in-person conversations even when no spy is in the room. A problem, but not an impossible one.
