RE: One thing to point out...

No, Captain Crunch came later. You have to read the book to learn about the first guy.

Captain Crunch came to visit me at one time during the 1970's. Ron Kessler from the Washington Post who wrote the first articles on us for the Boston Herald, The Wall Street Journal and later Fortune Magazine, had contacted me regarding a story that it was possible to bug any phone in the US by keying in various tones on a random pay phone. I had a brief meeting with John Draper at my home in this regard. Later, I did some digging and asking various people who know (ex Bell Labs people, spooks, etc.) and found out that this could have been done for most phones if someone could have done the appropriate computer hacking. I conducted this research in such a way that the people involved thought it was casual questions and no one of them saw more than a piece of the puzzle so they had no idea what I was up to. I declined to come out of the shadows at that time and told Ron Kessler that I did not want to talk to a Congressional Committee.
