Okay, so it was right after Christmas 2009. My girlfriend was in Germany visiting her family, and I was stuck here in the states. It was too expensive to call her directly, so I bought a calling card and we'd use that to talk.
Anyway, it was right after the underwear bomber thing, and she was telling me about how much crap she had to go through at the airport because she took too much shampoo.
I said, "The whole liquid thing is stupid because there's an easy, way to get around it, all you have to do is ..."
Right then, I heard a woman with a thick accent firmly exclaim, "Nein!" - and the phone went click and we were disconnected.
I kinda freaked, but I called her right back and told her what happened, which totally freaked her out. She hadn't heard the woman say "Nein!" and was worried that I was going to be getting a visit. I wanted to test fate and try telling her again, but I figured not to push my luck.
No one showed up at my house, and I've flown all over the place since then without any problems.
Anyway ... so now I assume that people (or machines) are ALWAYS listening
