To intercept signals, the NSA and S&T teams developed miniaturized monitors that are concealed in everyday objects such as lamps, phones, signposts, building gutters and commercial electric equipment. The CIA even has its own secret factory, which produces microbatteries no bigger than fingernail clippings to power the devices. For the Baghdad...
