Don't knock it. There are good reasons to think that Tempest exists
(as good as any NSA program that we "know" about), and it's been
shown that Van Eck phreaking works just fine given favorable
conditions. ("Cryptonomicon" provides a good example of a forced
favorable situation... but even the Feds renting the apartment on
the other side of the wall against which your monitor sits would
be good enough.)
