hmmmmm...if you guys love FBI/detective movies of sort..then you shouldn't be surprise of this invading of privacy from any kind of telecommunications...but even so, it still makes you wonder and be cautious if its indeed possible..:/

Tell them if they don't like your PC then send it to me in Qatar ...

by the way i thought they might have found "Nitro Liquid" formula in your PC and suspected you a Modern Terrorist of the western world ;-)

Well, I have had the FBI at my house many times...

Apparently since I make a lot of international calls to Qatar, Saudi, and Europe I am a suspected terrorist. I have even had my computers confiscated. So I am pretty sure they can get at any message, email, or txt that they want.

It's a horrible feeling.

If someone wants to check on your message history, deleted or not, they can and probably WILL if you are suspected of anything iffy.

muhahahahaha

of a conversation I had on the phone recently, when I was renewing House Contents Insurance.

After me and the broker 'did' the deal about what I was covered for I began giggling and saying "oh, accidental damage cover? Maybe I'll start lobbing a few crystal decanters about the place, or chuck red wine over my sofa"

The line went a bit quiet and then the broker said, "Look *I* know you're joking, but you DO know this is being recorded, don't you?"

HAHAHAHA

Next day I realised I had a problem with damp which had stained the carpet - I didn't dare to claim LMAO

thats every where here in all the Gov firms and companies.

just to keep an eye if some one is passing out our secret deals.

i remember in 1999 a girl was terminated from Ras gas i think for sending a porn pic to about half ras gas staff.

even in offices they watch what people are e-mailing or messaging within the company!

I once sent (happily) a not TOO indecent e-mail to a friend called Adrian - unfortunately as I saw the mail disappear into the ether I realised I had NOT sent it to my friend on the external e-mail, but to the Senior Partner (also an Adrian) in the INTERNAL e-mail system.

Was my face red? giggling here at the memory of that incident. lol

I can just imagine!

Happily I don't have any of those sites in the 'hidden' files on my laptop.

Friend of mine used to 'mend' puters and a Vicar brought his desktop in to be sorted out. My friend said he could never understand why people didn't delete their archived stuff, or even deleted material. The Vicar had an interesting collection of pornography he thought no-one would know about ;)

am afraid cant reveal Qtel services here but all you need is to avoid words which are illegal here rest dating and and crap such as that are normal.

Ours calls are recorded daily.

Text msg no they dont check or cant check each and single one but there are some words which if caught by system will get you in their trace target for few days.
