Eavesdropping is the act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent, as defined by Black's Law Dictionary. This is commonly thought to be unethical and there is an old adage that eavesdroppers seldom hear anything good of themselves...eavesdroppers always try to listen to matters that concern them .. HistoryAncient Anglo-Saxon law punished eavesdroppers, who skulked in the eavesdrip of another's home, with a fine; the eavesdrip was also sometimes called the eavesdrop. Eavesdrop also means a small low visibility hole near the entrance to a building (generally under the eaves) which would allow the occupants to listen in on the conversation of people awaiting admission to the house. Typically this would allow the occupant to be prepared for unfriendly visitors. Early telephone systems shared party lines which would allow the sharing subscribers to listen to each others conversations. This was a common practice in rural America which resulted in many incidents and feuds. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Eavesdropping" Are there any laws in USA about eavesdropping on walkie talkie conversations? Q. Title says it all. Are there any laws pertaining to eavesdropping on walkie talkie conversations (and radio broadcasts in general, I suppose)? Or is there zero expectancy of privacy when communicating through this method, and thus no law against eavesdropping here? Asked by unknown - Wed Jun 16 15:18:08 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments How do I get him to stop eavesdropping? Q. I can barely talk about my crush to my friends because me & my crush are like best friends and whenever I'm talking about him he eavesdrops on us. Like yesterday in Drama I was talking about him and he moved all the way on the other side of the room just to hear what I was saying. Whenever I'm with my friends he always appears out of nowhere and it makes me wonder how much of the conversation he's heard. How do I get him to stop listening in on me? I really like him but I can't tell my friends because he's always there. Asked by Nadia - Thu Sep 25 02:54:00 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Stop acting like an elementary student and tell the boy that you like him. obviously he likes you too because he takes every chance he can get just to hear what you have to say about him. Confront him, and tell him that you like him, and you won't have to worry about talking to your friends about him because he will be your boyfriend, and you won't be so embarrassed, well at least you shouldn't be.

Q. No "paranoia" comments, please Asked by Anonymous - Fri Mar 2 05:28:46 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can't--no one can. We are losing so many of our freedoms that it is sickening. Who knows that every call we make isn't being recorded? I don't think that we could even feel safe making a private phone call on a pay phone any more.
