My point was that my $20 GE telephone cannot be made into a liability for

Although Bell Labs avoided publishing papers about weakness in the
telephone system, it doesn't mean they don't exist.  The Communications
Fraud Control Assocation has a decent publication on communications
fraud.

Seems like John Draper had the corner on that market for a very long
time--1960's wasn't it when we had modify all the SF's?
