The Pentagon worries that spies can see its computer screens There was a front page article in the *Wall Street Journal* (7 Aug 2000) discussing the technology and risks of video-screen snooping by scanning the EMF radiated by the monitor. I'm not an engineer, but I can put two and two together. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. If someone could view my monitor remotely and then send the appropriate commands to my Logitech mouse/keyboard, it could be a *huge* potential risk for leaving my machine on and unattended.
