However, the abstract is eminently citable to back the theory that in 1949,
engineers understood that signal leakage could be monitored, because somebody
saw a need to defend against it.

The fact that the patent only addresses computers probably has to do with
how the video console for the PDP-1 that got used for SpaceWars was still
some 15 years in the future. :)
