or maybe a 'jamming' device would make the
emissions unreadable :)
So, basically its telling us encryption is
pointless. because they can see our monitor displays, probably from space!
:(
next we will find out that crt monitors can somehow
act like video cameras too...
hmm, so is MS teamed up with the government, or is
gates our protector from the eveil government? think about that..
microsoft may control everything, whats the
government gonna do? So, DOJ splits up microsoft,
reducing their power?...
man, this little newsletter has me thinking :) got
some cool story ideas already ;P

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
Dorothy Denning of Georgetown
Univ.
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?
