With almost one-in-ten ten rental homes now bugged, lenses the size of pinheads are routinely concealed in sockets, smoke alarms, or mirrors, investigator Thomas Martin told CBS. Residents in the United States may have a legitimate concern of security, but hiring companies such as AirBnB and VRBO have strictly prohibited such practices. However, the cameras have been discovered in bedrooms, bathrooms, and even shower heads filming guests' most intimate moments. 'Once a recording is made, it's difficult to figure out where it went, who sent it, has it been posted, and has it gone on the internet,' said Maryland attorney Dan Whitney.
