Tin Foil Hat Your Entire House!!


In the movie " Enemy of the State " Gene Hackman lived within a wire mesh cage that prevented the NSA from spying on his activities; this article reminded me of that movie:

What they forget to tell you is that you would need to fit it very precisely, then test it. Then you would have to work out how to get any services (water, electricity) into it without cutting a hole big enough to cause a leak. You would also have to find a way to isolate the mains electricity so that any emanations from within the room are not detectable on cabling outside the room. Otherwise you wouldn't have an actual NSA-grade TEMPEST setup (as hinted at in the linked article) just something you hope works well enough.

I expected you to be referring to the family in Florida that covered their house and yard in aluminum foil . . . "public art," I think . . .
