Talk:Laser microphone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Oppose merge with Microphone

I type in 'Laser Microphone' to find information on just that. It is a completely different type of technology than conventional microphones. HighInBC 15:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unverified/unverfiable statements

It was designed by Ethal Hussenburn in the 1970s during the Cold War. During the making the technology was advanced by the NSA and CIA making it smaller and compact. The Shelby laser Microphone was then invented.

I found no Google links to anyone named Ethal Hussenburn that didn't originate from Wikipedia, nothing in Google Books or Google Scholar. I also would seriously want to see evidence that specifically the NSA and CIA developed compact laser microphones — my bet is that a contractor company like Hughes Aircraft or something like that did the work, the NSA and CIA are not known for their own in-house laser development. Lastly I see almost nothing referencing a "Shelby laser microphone" in Google which indicates that it should be listed as the last in a long line of developments. If someone knows better, please correct/re-insert, but cite. For now these statements can live on the talk page. --24.147.86.187 03:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
