> Wasn't that the corporate guy that did that to his employees? Intruding into their homes, even? Well, the Fed was the one that monitored everything at work and bugged its employees' home phones too. L. Bob Rife was the corporate guy who didn't think that that was good enough, and wanted to be able to partition work data in his employees' minds so that they didn't have access to it outside of work. I think Rife is mentioned in passing as doing the former kind of monitoring whereas the Feds' practices are described in excruciating (and entertaining) detail, so you can certainly be forgiven for conflating the two.
