#3  I got a couple of old Royal manual typewriters around that work - just need new ribbons. Wonder what the Kremlin is paying...

#1  ...As long as they're manuals or what we called 'TEMPEST-shielded' electrics. If they're just standard, off-the-shelf electrics, they will give off signals that can be read and turned into readable documents. I had an unpleasant experience with TEMPEST many years ago that had me convinced for a few days that I'd end up inspecting nail driver cartridges on the DEW Line for the rest of my career.
