Wouldnt it just be a lot easier for you or your boss to disconnect
the microphone cable than going though some elaborate scheme to prove
it could possibly be done? If they can "ruled" any laptop at will
then couldnt they also get into your mail servers? Wouldnt anything
that would be discussed in your meeting generate followups in a email?
