Some interesting tidbits - the NSA team leader in charge of investigating the equipment offered a "bug bounty" to find the eavesdropping devices [0]:
"As an incentive - probably demonstrating his own impatience - the leader of the team, Walter Deely, offered a US$ 5,000 bonus for the first person to find an eavesdropping device.

0. Not exactly in the sense of today's "bug bounties".
