Interesting. Back when I was field-testing MONET, we had some guys from DARPA and from some agency I hadn't heard of before looking over my shoulder. As we passed one of the big DARPA buildings in W. VA (is this the 'real' VA a la MkKane), he started yapping about the windows on that building, but then shut himself up remembering that we were after all civilians, even though we were entering some very secure facilities (eg, one NSA facility). I had guessed that being immune to laser-based eavesdropping would be one characteristic of the glass, but I never knew exactly how (though I would have thought it easier merely to put an vacuum between two sheets of glass as in recording studios). -TD

James Bamford in his new book on the NSA, mentions the glazing system on an HQ building which is composed of two layers of glass with wire mesh for TEMPEST shielding but also that music is played within the glass layers to garble vibration emanations.
Anyone know of this music system or where more information could be obtained?
