i worked for about a month at a place called Emcon, whose entire purpose is sealing electronics against Tempest attack. we were busy putting conductive gasket tape and capton tape all over everything inside of PC cases, custom modifications for garbage consumer printers that didn't fit, and things like that, some of which was done for DND's operations securing the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

after everything was taped where we were told to put tape, the devices would go into a room we weren't allowed to see into or know what was happening, where they would test how well we'd done our job.

since learning more about Tempest attacks, i've learned that it's possible to find out what's on another computer's monitor with a simple SDR device and a laptop, if you know how to look for the signals and decode them. the RCMP have those Stingray boxes in their trunks, intercepting cell phones. if you're in downtown Ottawa any time, near parliament hill, and you notice your phone's service is acting funny, you might want to turn your phone off.
