On pg 248 of the March 1991 "Computer Shopper" the article
titled "How to Kick the Spy-Business Blues" starts with:
"When the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelli-
gence Agency, or any other James Bond-like ministry in the
U.S. Government buys a PC, the machine needs to meet so-called
Tempest security specifications that prevent the other side's
spies from electronically snooping around."

**UNCLASSIFIED ANSWERS PLEASE!!!***

What are the specs. for Tempest?  I'm curious because some of
the stuff I will be doing is VERY subject to industrial
espionage, and I'd like to know if the Government's standards
are good enough for industry?

P.S. I am building one hell of a hardened revetment out ot the
     backissues of "COMPUTER SHOPPER" :-).
