==In popular culture== *In the television series ''[[Numbers (TV series)|Numb3rs]]'', season 1 episode "Sacrifice", a wire connected to a high gain antenna was used to "read" from a computer monitor. *In the television series ''[[Spooks (TV series)|Spooks]]'', season 4 episode "The Sting", a failed attempt to read information from a computer that has no network link is described. *In the novel ''[[Cryptonomicon]]'' by [[Neal Stephenson]], characters use [[Van Eck phreaking]] to likewise read information from a computer monitor in a neighboring room. *In the television series ''[[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'', season 1 episode "[[Ragtag (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Ragtag]]", an office is scanned for digital signatures in the UHF spectrum. *In the video game ''[[Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory]]'', part of the final mission involves spying on a meeting in a TEMPEST-hardened war room. Throughout the entire [[Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell|''Splinter Cell'']] series, a [[laser microphone]] is used as well. * In the video game ''[[Rainbow Six: Siege]]'', the operator Mute has experience in TEMPEST specifications. He designed a Signal Disrupter initially to ensure that hidden microphones in sensitive meetings would not transmit, and adapted them for combat, capable of disrupting remotely activated devices like breaching charges. * In the novel series [[The Laundry Files]] by [[Charles Stross]], the character James Angleton (high-ranking officer of an ultra-secret intelligence agency) always uses low tech devices such as a [[typewriter]] or a [[Memex]] to defend against TEMPEST (despite the building being TEMPEST-shielded).{{sfn|Stross|2010|p=98}}
