I'm not saying you're wrong. Here was always my take on having them. They are an indicator that someone might be listening. Everything can listen now, you're phone, your computer, your tv. Heck even your car. Things most people don't think about. I find them to be fun gadgets that I use and make life more convenient in certain things. I also keep them around for another reason. Everyone knows they have mics that listen. To me they are also a visual indicator that something you might say could be recorded.
In 1984, they got caught because they thought no one could hear them. That was their mistake. What I learned from it (well ok many things), but what that taught me is to be careful if you are going to do something you shouldn't. Never assume that someone isn't watching when you're doing something illegal. I'm just posting signs for everyone else in the house, this area isn't secure.
