BOX TYPE:AQUA BOX
THE LOCK IN TRACE-A LOCK IN TRACE IS A DEVICE USED BY THE FBI
TO LOCK INTO THE PHONE USER'S LOCATION SO THAT HE CAN NOT HANG
UP WHILE A TRACE IS IN PROGRESS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THE CONCEPT OF LOCKING IN, HERE'S A BREIF DESCR
-IPTION.
THE F.B.I CAN TAP INTO A CONVERSATION, LIKE A 3WAY CALL CONNECTION.
THEN, WHEN THEY GET THERE, THEY CAN PLUG ELECTRICITY INTO THE PHONE
LINE. ALL PHONE CONNECTIONS ARE HELD OPEN BY A CERTAIN VOLTAGE OF
ELECTRICITY. THAT IS WHY YOU SOMETIMES GET STATIC AND FAINT CONNECT
-IONS WHEN YOU ARE CALLING FROM FAR AWAY, BECAUSE THE ELECTRICITY
HAS TROUBLE KEEPING THE LINE UP. WHAT LOCK IN TRACE DOES IS CUT IN
TO THE LINE AND GENERATE THAT SAME VOLTAGE STRAIGHT INTO THE LINES.
THAT WAY, WHEN YOU TRY AND HANG UP, VOLTAGE IS RETAINED. YOUR PHONE
WILL RING JUST LIKE SOMEONE WAS CALLING YOU EVEN AFTER YOU HANG UP.
SO, IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE TRACE, YOU SHOULD SOMEHOW LOWER THE
VOLTAGE LEVEL ON YOUR PHONE LINE. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT EVERYTIME
SOMEONE PICKS UP THE PHONE LINE, THEN THE VOLTAGE DOES DECREASE A
LITTLE. IN THE FIRST STEPS OF PLANNING THIS OUT, XEROX SUGGESTED
GETTING ABOUT 100 PHONES ALL HOOKED INTO THE SAME LINE SO THAT ALL
OF THEM CAN BE TAKEN OFF THE HOOK AT THE SAME TIME, GREATLY DECREAS
-ING THE VOLTAGE LEVEL. THAT IS ALSO WHY MOST 3WAY CONNECTIONS THAT
ARE USING THE BELL SERVICE ARE USING THE BELL SERVICE 3WAY CALLING
BECOME QUITE FAINT AFTER A WHILE. BY NOW, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE
BASIC IDEA. YOU HAVE TO DRAIN ALL THE POWER OUT OF THE LINE SO THE
VOLTAGE CAN NOT BE KEPT UP. A RATHER SUDDEN DRAINING OF POWER COULD
QUICKLY SHORT OUT THE F.B.I. VOLTAGE MACHINE, BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY
BUILT TO SUSTAIN THE EXACT VOLTAGE NECESSARY TO KEEP THE VOLTAGE OUT.
FOR NOW, IMAGE THIS. ONE OF THE NORMAL RADIO SHOCK GENERATORS THAT
YOU CAN GO PICK UP,THAT ONE END OF THE CORD HOOKS INTO THE CENTRAL
BOX, HAS A PHONE JACK ON IT AND THE OTHER HAS AN ELECTRICAL PLUG.
THIS WAY, YOU CAN "FLASH" VOLTAGE THROUGH YOUR LINE, BUT CANNOT DRAIN
IT. SO, SOME MODIFACATIONS HAVE TO BE DONE.
THE AQUA BOX-
MATERIALS- A BEOS (Basic Electrical Output Socket) like a small lamp
type connection, where you just have a simple plug and wire
that would plug into a light bulb.
- One of cords mentioned above, if you can't find one then
construct your own... same voltage connection, but the
restrainor must be built in (i.e. the central box)
- TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are
being traced to plug the aqua box into)
- Some creativity and easy work.
NOTICE: No phones have to be destroyed/modified to make this box, so don't go
out and buy a new phone for it!
All right, this is a very simple procedure. If you have the BEOC, it could
drain into anything, a radio, or whatever. The purpose of having that is
you are going to suck the voltage out from the phone line into the electrical
applicence so there would be no voltage left to lock you in with.
1)Take the connection cord. Examine the plug at the end. It should have only
two prongs, if it has three, still, do not fear. MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL
APPLIENCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna become a crispy critter while making
this thing. Most plug will have a hard plastic design on the top of them to
prevent you from getting in at the electrical wires inside. Well, get a nice
and remove it. If you want to keep the plug (I don't see why...) then just cut
the top off.
[ When you look inside, low and behold, you will see that at the base of the
prongs there are a few wires connecting in. Those wires conduct the power into
the appliance. So, you carefully unwrap those from the sides and pull them out
until they are about and inch ahead of the prongs. If you wdon't wanna keep
the jack, then just rip the prongs out. If you are, cover the prongs with
insultation tape so they will not connect with the wires when the power is
being drained from the line.
2)Do the same thing with the prongs on the other plug, so you have the wires
evenly connected. Now, wrap the end of the wires around each other. If you
happen to have the other end of the voltage cord hooked into the phone, stop
reading now, your too fucking stupid to continue.
After you've wrapped the wires around each other, then cover the whole thing
with the plugs with insulating tape. Then, if you built your own control box
or if you bought one, then cram all the wires into the and reclose it. That
box is your ticket out of this.
[ 3)Re-check everything to make sure it's all in place. This is a pretty flimsy
connection, but on later models when you get more experienced at it then you
can sauder away at it and form the whole device into one big box, with some
kind of cheap mattel hand-held game inside to be the power connector.
In order to use it, just keep this box handy. Plug it into the jack if you
want, but it will slightly lower the voltage so it isn't connected. When you
plug it in, if you see sparks, unplug it and restart the WHOLE thing. But if
it just seems fine then leave it.

Now, so you have the whole thing plugged in and all... DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS
[THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE! When the trace has gone on, don't panic, unplug
your phone, and turn on the appliance that it was hooked to. It will need
energy to turn itself on, and here's a great source... the voltage to keep
a phone line open is pretty small and a simple light bulb should drain it all
in and probably short the F.B.I. computer at the same time.
Happy boxing and stay free!
