“Zoom for audio enables you to hear a single conversation in huge crowd”

How long do you think it will take for this to be adopted by intelligence services worldwide? 😉 So much for hiding conversations from electronic eavesdroppers by holding them near running water.

(My guess: they’ve already got it. I could be wrong, but it’s an obvious idea to any science guy — or hard science fiction buff — so I can’t believe that they’ve never thought to try it.)
