The leader of the Justice Committee (Ap) Hadia Tajik reacts strongly to revelations that advanced spy equipment may have watched a large amount of mobile traffic to and from government offices, parliament and Prime Minister residence.
– The authorities are aware that this type of monitoring can happen, but the kind of precision that is now uncovered one is less prepared, says Hadia Tajik, chairman of the justice committee (Ap) in Parliament.
Advanced spy equipment may have watched a large amount of mobile traffic to and from government offices, parliament and Prime Minister residence, revealed Aftenposten Saturday. National Security Authority has been totally unaware of the activity.
– Has made findings
– We can not confirm the finding it is too early for us to conclude. We ripped out and used the same technology that Aftenposten and own technology. It made discoveries, but what they are and what might be possible sources of error, it is too early to say anything about, says National Security Regulatory (NSM) Kjelleberg Veirs.
– Our task is to ensure that sensitive information is not compromised. If the findings of the paper votes, we naturally take this seriously, but there are many ways to ensure this. We try to verify whether the results are consistent or not.
Tajik: – We do not know everything NSM know
– We who sits on parliament do not know exactly what the National Security Authority and PST know. It is clear that it is outrageous to be monitored, and that we really can not talk without being bugged, says Tajik.
The reactions after the revelations have been strong.
– Authorities are aware that this type of monitoring can happen, but with the kind of precision that is now uncovered one is less prepared. There are many unanswered questions here.
Have you done its job well enough?
– It is too early to draw conclusions, but it Aftenposten revealed here is worrisome. The sum of information you eventually get can form a pretty sensitive puzzle.
Can be purchased online
Aftenposten through a period of two months mapped monitoring using one of the world’s most advanced encrypted mobile phones. They then recorded suspicious mobile activity at various locations in Oslo.
– The equipment can be purchased online for about 10,000 dollars, says technology expert Magnus Brein VG.
– To conduct surveillance is unfortunately not difficult. This type of technology is basically very simple to use. This is part of the new reality where information is both digital and mobile.

Feeling exposed
Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, 2nd deputy Justice Committee (KrF) says that he himself has felt victimized by the information became known.
– yes it is clear, this’ve been very systematic. When everyone says that Parliament is in danger of being monitored should be extra keen to monitor that this does not happen. Some can earn big on different types of information from these institutions.
Both Ropstad and Tajik agree that that monitoring can affect ordinary citizens around the affected buildings make this a societal problem.
