This post in today's NST caught my eye:
Worried VIPs stock up on anti-spy devices

Excerpts:

Eight days after a minister admitted that a sex DVD featured him, anti-spy electronic devices are being sold like hot cakes, especially to people in power.

It is learnt that several prominent businessmen and politicians who visit China regularly on work or on holiday have been using the device in their bedrooms.

Er... hmmm... should their wives be starting to worry???

One online seller using the pseudonym Eagle833 offered the device for RM120 each with the title, "Spy Camera Detector -- HOT IN TOWN -- GET IT BEFORE (getting) TRAPPED!".

MCA public services and complaints department head Datuk Michael Chong, who bought a similar device on Sunday, said his first attempt to purchase one at a shop in Jalan Pasar failed. The RM50 made-in-China unit that Chong bought can detect hidden CCTV cameras within a 50cm range.

Both Michael Chong and Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad were quoted in the article 'advising' people to go and buy these items cos of the risks of being spied on in toilets or dressing rooms, and so on.

What business do they have ENCOURAGING people to buy these devices??? They are fanning the paranoia, in my opinion. I simply don't think the problem is that serious unless of course you need it cos YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, just like CSL...
