Marc,
Ready your question and Tim's response. Tim's right about everyone (including this e-mail) responding with equipment for you. Don't be in any hurry to buy anything!
Suggestion - Before you buy go to good school and learn more about TSCM. Chose a school where you'll get exposure to the spectrum analyzers and TDR's with hands on experience - then you can decide what you need yourself. Ask each school to fax you a list of the equipment you will actually have hands on classroom time with!
Ray Jarvis teaches both a good basic and intermediate course in Oklahoma at Jarvis International Intelligence; I teach a good basic course in NC for the World Institute for Security Enhancement. Completing either will qualify you for the NC Counterintelligence License. The next class I teach is May 5th, about $795, I don't know when Ray's next class is. Phone # WISE = 910 993 7519, Jarvis 918 437 1100.
Tim may be setting in on my next class, hopefully to help with the instruction [Tim's currently listed by the Institute as a resident expert TSCM instructor]. I haven't met Tim yet, perhaps we'll all be there.
After you have had exposure to different products then make your own purchasing decision - don't buy based on the responses I'm sure you're getting.
If you or anyone else is interested in specific equipment there are a number of sources. You may review my site [http://www.tscmplus.com] for referrals to equipment and what it should cost; we are listing everything at the manufacturer's cost so you'll know what costs should be. My web server is too busy so I'm trying to master getting all this into the .html format for the www, so give me a month before it's all posted!! Steve Wilson

By far the best known and most widely supported as the best and most secure
encryption program available: PGP (Pretty Good Privacy).

Hope this helps.

Software requirements and Price would be great. I also could

Encryption, Access Control, and Tempest prevention or like
prevention methods.

Marc,
As far as better & easier equipment, be careful. TSCM sweeps are
complicated by nature. Any equipment that flashes a light or sounds a
buzzer as proof that there is or is not an illicit device present I'd
run from. The most sophisticated devices out there such as spectrum
analysers, fluke meters, and probes only give you readings for the tech
to interpret. It's kind of like a doctor being able to wave a probe
over the body and have a printout that says "this man is ABSOLUTELY
having an AMI". The EKG only gives readings for a trained professional
to interpret.
As far as a recommendation on equipment however, the CPM unit from
Research Electronics Inc. (REI) is a very good base unit to start with.
Although you may want to add to your equipment later, a professional
sweep can be obtained using the CPM with optional accessories, a
multimeter, and a good physical search. The unit from REI will allow
you to do an RF search, carrier current searches, infrared sweeps, and
magnetic leakage detection which will find tape recorders, and leakage
which is susceptible to TEMPEST monitoring. REI has their own web site,
you can probably do a search for it.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Trace Carpenter

Tim,
It sounds like Mr. Buckley is using some of the "red your dead, green your
clean" type of equipment. Looks nice but in most cases would'nt find a
decent device if you were sitting on it. It's nice that he is looking for
better equipment, and you are right on regarding sticker shock. But it seems
that even with the best equipment, if he does not know where to look or how
to use the equipment effectively, he's just throwing the money down a well.
Regardless, with the fancy flashing lights or good equipment, if the
customer gets the idea that you are blowing smoke up his you know where, you
won't be going back, and you damn sure won't be getting any referrals.
I don't know where he is in Utah but he can give me a call if it's
appropriate.
Talk soon.

Specialty Skill available
Occasionaly, I'll receive an inquiry from an individual who has training that would enhance a security departments capabilities. The following appears to be such an individual. For that reason, I am passing the info on for your review and consideration. Im more than 99% of the time, if you hire an AF electroinics technician, you aren't hiring the handicapped. They're well trained and disciplined, but with enough freedom in doing their work to use some initiative.

And finally, Military cooperation
One reason the military services have trouble coordinating joint operations is that they don¹t speak the same
language. For example: If you tell Navy personnel to
³secure a building², they will turn off the lights and lock the
doors. The Army will occupy the building so no
one can enter. The Marines will assualt the building, capture
it, and defend it with suppresive fire and close
combat. The Air Force on the other hand will take out a
three-year lease with an option to purchase.
Unless something extremely interesting comes up on Monday, this will probably be the last BULLETIN BOARD for a couple of weeks as we leave on vacation on Tuesday. My # 3 son will be here but he has been instructed not to answer any e-mail or telephone calls (mainly because I'm to cheap to respond to inquiries from France.
But please do continue sending in any inquiries, comments or questions while I'm away. I'll have a couplke or three days before the nest job after I return and then it's on the road again (as opposed to being on the road on vacation). It's a good thing I enjoy traveling.
By the way, I'll be in St. Louis later on this month and in Massachusetts at the end of April-early May. Drop me an e-mail and maybe we can get together.
