Don't forget that there is now a proven program that can 'sniff' your
keyboards, many feet away (Tests were in an adjacent area 50 feet away),
and sort out from a room full of them, one specific keyboard,
and copy all keystrokes.

I am sure that the government has had the contractor refine that program
in the past year.

A large concern for any encryption system, is that the preparation of
the plaintext message is subject to many interceptions.  All my
classified communications centers required a minimum 100 foot distance
to the closest perimeter fence.

The buildings were often tunnels deep underground, in dormant volcanoes,
or deep in mountains, that were also well shielded by a Faraday cage.

Even aircraft and mobile shelters were triple layered and bonded,
Faraday shielded. All glazing was multiple screened in the bonded safety
layers.
