On prohibitions against surveillance countermeasures:
Here's a provocative distinction in "compromising
emanations" (TEMPEST) from the Commerce Control
List of the EAR:
"List of Items Controlled
5A002.d Equipment designed or modified to suppress
the compromising emanations of information-bearing
signals;
Note: 5A002.d does not control equipment specially
designed to suppress emanations for reasons of health
and safety."
Wonder how much dangerous EMR the regs allow to keep
the snoops happy. Reminds me of the brain-cancer-crypto
NSA imposed on cellular phone intentional radiators.
