Question
A system administrator has a responsibility to maintain the security of the video teleconferencing system. During a self-audit of the video teleconferencing room, the administrator notices that speakers and microphones are hard-wired and wireless enabled. Which of the following security concerns should the system administrator have about the existing technology in the room?
Options
- AWired transmissions could be intercepted by remote users.
- BBluetooth speakers could cause RF emanation concerns.
- CBluetooth is an unsecure communication channel.
- DWireless transmission causes interference with the video signal.

Explanation
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless protocol not designed with strong enterprise security in mind. In a sensitive meeting environment, Bluetooth speakers and microphones introduce serious risks: Bluetooth traffic can be intercepted (Bluesnarfing, Bluebugging), and nearby attackers can potentially eavesdrop on audio. The concern is not just RF emanation (option B) - it is that Bluetooth itself is an insecure channel for transmitting sensitive audio. Option A is incorrect because wired transmissions are far harder to intercept remotely than wireless. Option D (wireless interference with video) is a performance concern, not a security concern, and is not the primary issue here.
