Next time you have your PC's case open, have a look at your power supply and how it hooks to your Mobo....

Can you say, mains induction 'alternet'?

Kinda gives new meaning to the term "power" lines....

interesting, but I don't think it will out view FLIR digital Thermographics, you know, like the ones on board super secret satellites that spy through your roof and watching you doing the lady of the house.<Zoom>

Some very sensitive FLIR systems can spot dead bodies 6ft under ground that's 3 days old.

thanks.

Someone in the U.S. Air Force told me there was a radar system on the Flying Command Posts that could see over the horizon from low altitude and see a person walk from one room to another in a house 150 miles away.

Makes you wonder. Is this the height of achievement or the height of stupidity!

Since I had to work in the Air Force with a lot of control freaks, I'd say the latter.

it is, Smart meters can monitor what you do in your home, log it and make a costing report. Toaster, kettle, tv. pc...
Beaming ghz frequencies through anything with voids will fairly much reveal what is going on.
spy sats have been able to do this since the early 80's. The big difference now is they can read the date stamp on the coin in your pocket.

When you think you can buy a 12mp camera for under $1000, imagine the lens CCD and spectral range the $12 billion dollar sat has... Think of how that CCD came around and who is paying for the thing to be made in the first place. Most cool gadgets started in science (wifi - space physics) and military circles.

@all
pcjunkie is right.  A European named Van Eck wrote the defining paper explaining that with good enough software and the right antenna, your computer monitor can be monitored for what you're looking at and doing on the Internet.
"No more WiFi" is about right.  Never do anything personally sensitive on the Internet.

I'm not surprised.  In the military, I was told *rumors* that there were a lot of things that do incredible performance functions which were highly classified.
