"Eh? Tapping a wire is one of the easiest ways to listen in to communications"
Yet splicing into fiber-optics, especially undetected, is not the same thing at all. The americans have special-forces submarines that help them with this. Not exactly rookie stuff.

- MichaelGG 12y agoI'm guessing not all fibre optics run under water and don't need special forces submarines.
- 001sky 12y ago'I'm guessing' 'trivial' and 'splicing fiber optics' doesn't realy flow, logically.
- MichaelGG 12y agoIf you have the money to buy the commercial splitting/tapping products, and the resources to go find and attack the fibre lines, then I think it's as trivial as it's going to be. Certainly within range of corporate budgets.
