No one was hurt, fortunately. And by the time the pair exchanged their insurance information, they were friendly and laughing. Observing others is compelling. Respecting boundaries is key.

He is its evasive shadow. If E major is the tonic, Beethoven will play incomplete versions of the E major chord, always careful to avoid its straight expression.
He wants to preserve an element of uncertainty in his music, making our brains beg for the one chord he refuses to give us. Beethoven saves that chord for the end. When confronted with them, the mind attempts to resolve them into clarity and certainty. Music is a form whose meaning depends upon its violation.
In other words, listening to Beethoven is the artistic form of the halfalogue - it is a sensory stimulus that draws us in precisely because of what it doesn't tell us. The information is incomplete - we don't know when, exactly, the tonic will return - and so we eagerly await its completion. Meyer would later apply this principle to all narratives. He pointed out, for instance, that the moment of most suspense in a movie is also the moment of peak unpredictability. We are riveted because we have no idea what will happen next.
Note: I found this paper via Vaughan Bell, who has a typically insightful post on the latest peer-reviewed paper on the subject of children and technology. Above all, do not discuss your suspicions in a room that might be bugged.
Do not deviate from the normal pattern of conversation in the room. Advise your security officer promptly, but do not do it by phone. The bug may be in the telephone instrument. Do it in person, and discuss the problem in an area that you are confident is secure. These security measures are important to ensure that the perpetrator does not become aware of your suspicions.
A perpetrator who becomes aware you are suspicious will very likely take steps to make it more difficult to find the device. He may remove the device or switch it off remotely. Never try to find a bug or wiretap yourself. If you are suspicious enough to look, you already know you should not have any sensitive conversation in that room. If there is a bug there, do-it-yourself approaches probably will not find it.
Detecting bugs is difficult even for the professionals who specialize in that work. A Technical Security Countermeasures TSCM survey, also known as a "sweep," is a service provided by highly qualified personnel to detect the presence of technical surveillance devices and hazards and to identify technical security weaknesses that could facilitate a technical penetration of the surveyed facility.
It consists of several parts. An electronically enhanced search of walls, ceilings, floors, furnishings, and accessories to look for clandestine microphones, recorders, or transmitters, both active and quiescent.
A physical examination of interior and exterior areas such as the space above false ceilings and heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and ventilation systems to search for physical evidence of eavesdropping. Identification of physical security weaknesses that could be exploited by an eavesdropper to gain access to place technical surveillance equipment in the target area.
