"Using radio to eavesdrop on CRTs has been around since the 80s, but Cambridge University researchers have now shown that laptops and flat-panel displays are vulnerable too.

'Kuhn also mentioned that one laptop was vulnerable because it had metal hinges that carried the signal of the display cable.
