I wish I could site a URL, but I've also read that receiving monitor 
emissions is not hard (for the NSA); see Information Warfare and Security by

I understand protecting against this would require lead, but what about just 
alumimun foil on the windows or a steel mesh (like in Enemy of the State).  
Any chance these would protect against this?
