<|endowment|>when the guardian's technology editor, jams ball, visited the nsa's headquarters in fort Meade, maryland, one of the first things he found was a new surveillance system that automatically records all the conversations and text messages in the area. The system, known as a "smart microphone,” was introduced about two years ago at a military facility in South Carolina, ball reports in a new piece published Tuesday. And it's one of hundreds of similar surveillance systems used by the NSA and its allied intelligence branches around the world. Ball says that even though smart microphones are relatively cheap to build and install (it cost about £150,000 and takes about 30 minutes to install), they are far more powerful than older techniques such as monitoring a suspect's phone conversations with a cell tower. To illustrate the potential power of the devices, he points to an exchange between a nsa linguist in germany in 2011 and a colleague from the NSA's tailored access operations unit. The German intelligence operative asked for the German translation of a file sent from the British spy agency gchq to the germans. He was surprised by what he saw: the German agent sent a text message through his smartphone using Google Translate. It was quickly detected by the NSA's smart microphone, because it transmitted its metadata, including the phone number the message was sent to and the message content. As the nsa analyst explains: "it's not like somebody dials you up, asks you to download this [the] target was talking to an agent in Germany by texting from germany to france to the uk." a similar system can be installed on any smartphone, because it's simply an app connected to the Bluetooth standard and connected to the cloud by default. Smart microphones can be used to keep track of everything called by mobile phones, including text messages, email messages, SMS and phone calls. For example, the nsa has a program known as boundless informant that automatically records calls made by suspected terrorists. "as someone who had to write the code that would run a bunch of these things, i wanted to make sure we did everything right,” ball writes. "but it wasn't as simple as just hitting the button and the spy system would do the rest." ball reports that despite this, most mobile companies still won't provide any help in preventing their devices from being used for surveillance. “there was very little communication from the company, there wasn't even an acknowledgment from the phone companies about this. So it was left.
