It is speculated that poorly protected systems can be effectively monitored up to the order of one kilometer from the target equipment.

The "readability" of the relatively high energy sweeps in a standard CRT monitor is well known. Any idea of similar effects on LCD screens ? The energy involved would be orders of magnitude less, just for starters. Also, since the whole screen is effectively oscillating, I'm not sure that there is any 'raster' sweep per se going on here at all. This could be a factor for the truly paranoid :-) using portables with LCD screens.

I've been told that the CRT is not what is generating the signals at all, rather that it is the CPU, and that having an LCD screen won't save you, strength of signal reduced or otherwise.
