FIFTH LESSON
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION
First
Means: The Telephone:
Because of significant technological advances,security
measures for monitoring the telephone and broadcasting
equipment have increased.Monitoring may be done
by installing a secondary line or wireless broadcasting
device on a telephone that relays the calls to
a remote location...That is why the Organization
takes security measures among its members who
use this means of communication (the telephone).
|
1. |
|
Communication
should be carried out from public places.
One should select telephones that are less
suspicious to the security apparatus and
are more difficult to monitor. It is preferable
to use telephones in booths and on main
streets. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
2. |
|
Conversation
should be coded or in general terms so as
not to alert the person monitoring [the telephone]. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
3. |
|
Periodically
examining the telephone wire and the receiver.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
4. |
|
Telephone
numbers should be memorized and not recorded.
If the brother has to write them, he should
do so using a code so they do not appear as
telephone numbers (figures from a shopping
list, etc.) |
| |
|
|
|
| |
5. |
|
The
telephone caller and person called should
mention some words or sentences prior to bringing
up the intended subject. The brother who is
calling may misdial one of the digits and
actually call someone else. The person ‘called
may claim that the call is for him, and the
calling brother may start telling him work-related
issues and reveal many things because of a
minor error. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
6. |
|
In
telephone conversations about undercover work,
the voice should be changed and distorted. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
7. |
|
When
feasible, it is preferable to change telephone
lines to allow direct access to local and
international calls. That and proper cover
facilitate communications and provide security
protection not available when the central
telephone station in the presence of many
employees is used. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
8. |
|
When
a telephone [line]is identified [by the security
apparatus], the command and all parties who
were using it
should be notified as soon as possible in
order to take appropriate measures. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
9. |
|
When
the command is certain that a particular telephone
[line] is being monitored, it can exploit
it by providing information that misleads
the enemy and benefits the work plan. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
10. |
|
If
the Organization manages to obtain jamming
devices, it should use them immediately. |
