[blparent] Question about IPhone baby monitor

[Star Gazer]

They do make them better now. 
Listening to planes is different, everybody is talking over radio, and
everybody knows there is no privacy.

So now I have a question about baby monitors, way back when, I'm talking 20
years ago, baby monitors like most cordless phones were an open invitation
for crooks to listen into your homes.
If you had a police scanner, which we always have, seriously, you could hear
peeps talking in their homes.  
And I'm saying, you could hear word for word what they said and if they said
they were leaving for the day, or what ever.  The same with cordless phones.
At least with these, you really didn't have a clue who these peeps were but
with the baby monitors, you had to be fairly close to them for the scanners
to work.

So do you suppose they make them better these days, so nosey peeps like me
cannot listen in.

After I found out this, I refused to own one.

We don't have a scanner for that reason, it's a hobby, listening to planes
and stuff, the baby monitor stuff we discovered by accident while we were at
a friends house.

Or, you could spend $10 at your local Walmart. And get a full featured audio
baby monitor set for the house.
