Determining whether a room is bugged, if the bad guys are reasonably
competent, is an inordinately tedious process that in itself is going
to rouse the suspicions of listeners.  It's basically impractical.

The number one rule is to assume that in indoor environments with
known inhabitants, someone is *always* listening.  Go somewhere
outdoors to talk, or conduct your conversation in writing
rather than out loud (burn the paper and stir the ashes afterward!),
or put your heads together under a blanket and talk very quietly.
The more background noise, the better.
