I figured they could tap them easy enough while you were using them, but looks like they can activate the mic even when it is off!!!! Start pullin your batteries, boys!!!!

They have been able to do that with regular house phones pretty much ever since they got rid of the rotory dial.
( yes I'm old enough to remember when phones had wires and round dials lolol )

What the article was saying though, was it could be done even if the "off" switch was pressed.

On cellphones.

(Most) Cordless phones have an old fashioned no-shit power interruption switch, not a 'request' switch like computers and cellphones have.

"Off" means off on one of those.
