The Tempest argument is a stretch, only because you're not actually recovering the information from the phosphor itself. But the Pandora argument is well taken.

Actually there is optical tempest now that works by watching the flicker of a CRT. Point is actually even more moot since most monitors are now LCD based, etc. so there's no raster line scanning the display, etc...
