Although the original poster did not feel their project
was security critical, there are people who do work in
these areas.

For those that feel comfortable, it is worth pointing out
"CRT Eavesdropping: Optical Tempest" on slashdot.

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/09/199242

Can a knowledgable person design a optical tempest system
as a web-project please?  I'd love to be able to build
one myself, or buy one from thinkgeek.com or where-ever.
I'm sure they'd sell well, not sure whether you American
folks can export the design plans though.  Do we have
some Russians among us?  :)

There is no limit to the money and time you can spend on
security.  There has to be a comprimise between US gov
security budgets and skint project managers that also have
to spin a product/service.

Have we killed the topic yet?
