[comp.dcom.telecom] MacGyver on Last Night

CER2520@ritvax.bitnet (C. E. Reid) (10/03/89)

        Last night's (10/2/89) episode of MacGyver showed a short segment of a
"bad guy" tapping into the telephone line at the "switching office" to the
Phoenix Foundation.  I thought it was a neat hi-tech thing!  :)  I wondered if
others have seen it and whether it is really how they tapped it or not.

I saw it too and it did come to mind but if it really was? I don't
know. I wonder if you could really get into a phone-co building that
easy though.
