Spy Stuff
from the reading-stuff-off-your-computer-is-no-problem dept
Before Echelon was the big spy thing for everyone to talk about, people were all scared of Tempest – the system used to read what was on your computer screen from a distance (no tapping involved). Now someone’s finally got documents (albeit with tons of lines blacked out) about Tempest out of the NSA via the Freedom of Information Act. Now whatever happened to that Tempest blocking system that Ross Anderson created?

OH NO! Not Techdirt too!
I saw the summary about TEMPEST on the site (yeah, I was wondering whatever happened to this too), but when I click on the link, I get some story on cnet about the Dow Jones.
Looks like the Man doesn’t want us to know.

Damn them! Though, I must admit, in this case it’s much more likely I just screwed up and cut and paste the wrong URL… been fixed now, but if it goes back to being wrong… we’ll know what happened.
