There is another aspect to this as well. A ham bud of mine was in on the
developing
technique of reading the Puter screens remotely and decoding what the
puter was being used for
In other words a simple photo detector could be used to observe the
raster and show the
remote operator what the screen was showing. You could look into a room
with a detecter
 and just read the raster off the wall reflections   ,,,,,,I would think
if this stuff takes off and if 
the FCC has anything to say about it will. It wont take long for the code
to be written and the 
Hwd made to monitor the users . The political FCC is certainly not
holding the public interest
The recent decision , despite public outcry, to allow a few to control
our broadcast media
is a good example. At least ,so far the elected congress stopped it. I
havent followed the filings to 
the FCC on this and dont know if this issue is valid and or brought
up,,,, but it really makes me sick
