curiousity question

Forgive me the likely obvious nature of this
question, but we moved our offices today and
I got a shiny new powerstrip with a place to
plug in the phone cord (surge protector) and
so I ask if powerstrips of this sort are not
the perfect bugging device ... you naturally
plug the telephone into them, they have lots
of dead space internally with power handy, &
they are directly attached to copper leading
back to unvisited rooms. You can even buy a
powerstrip with an ethernet port (so you can
powercycle a machine remotely), though those
don't seem to do telephone surge protection.
