To me, I also concur this is a far-cry from a daily scenario. There
are plenty of other methods and venues to log keystrokes / acquire
data. However, I would not hesitate to state that no doubt 'people'
before Georgia Tech were researching such things.

It's always nice to see people thinking about the 'what ifs' and
turning them into, at least for now, lab-based experiments that work.

They need to create another 'Enemy of the State' movie, updated, IMHO.
