Would installing this spyware require physical access to the device (eg. flashing the ROM?) If so, that's kind of boring, because with physical access to the phone I could just put my own bug with its own mic, using it's own power & network inside the phone's case and easily read all your data without modifying anything on the phone or giving any "tells" like increasing network usage.<p>Also presumably if law enforcement needed to listen in, there would be better ways to do so than to physically steal your phone... like subpoenaing the phone company.
