Unless there's been a change that I didn't see, this isn't universally true in the US. In some places, last time I looked, only one party of the conversation needed know that it was being recorded. As far as I recall, it only applied to audio recording. I've never heard of a law that would prevent me from acting as an undercover stenographer.
