However, the abstract is eminently citable to back the theory that in 1949,
engineers understood that signal leakage could be monitored, because somebody

The fact that the patent only addresses computers probably has to do with
how the video console for the PDP-1 that got used for SpaceWars was still
some 15 years in the future. :)
