I agree with the other responders, last time I worked on a TEMPEST
project the standard was classified.  I didn't have clearance either,
even though we were designing the circuit.  One of the guys from the
lab went out when the thing was tested and he said they really could
tell what was going on - Our project was a monochrome display for
gov`ment PCs - they got the images off the screen just from radiation.
We finally decided the spec was 3 dB below invisible :).  BTW, if I'm not
mistaken the TEMPEST spec changes with technology, so as new snooping
technology becomes available the spec becomes more and more rigorous.
