This CANNOT be done with sufficient reliability to bet your life on.
Especially when the adversary is the government that has control of the
switching equipment.  Some equipment will detect direct-connect bugs.
Most will not detect inductive or capacitive coupled taps.  And none
will detect taps initiated at the CO.  Even scrambling won't work in
that environment.  The existance of a scrambled signal would be more
than enough excuse for arrest.  

Your friends wll have to learn the same lessons learned by dissitants 
elsewhere.  There IS NO secure electronic communications available in 
an environmnet where the govenment is not bound to what we consder
legal behavior.
