It's not now called evesdropping. <br />No one is right outside, <br />Standing under your eves. <br />Not right now. <br /> <br />Where are they standing, <br />Standing by, while software <br />Scans, listens, but does not record, <br />Until that word is recognized? <br /> <br />Who knows what that word is? <br />In the fictional movie, <br />'The Bourne Ultimatum, ' <br />The word was 'Blackbrier.' <br /> <br />That's what popped up the red flags <br />On all our spies computer screens: <br />Like someone looked the Old Testament God <br />In the eye and shouted His name. <br /> <br />That was fiction, right? <br />One word can't trigger all that? <br />Excuse me. <br />There's a knock on my door.<br /><br />Tom J.
