Let's see... you know someone has this device, they think they are "secure." you place _PASSIVE_ device consisting of collector and memory enough to save say a day's worth of data in something like a clock if you have daily access to persons room (think janitor) or something they will throw out in a few days (think flowers) and you have all the blinks and flashes. Then you can take the collected data back to your bunker and run probably a simple XOR or something equally as trivial on it and there you have it... all the communications of the day, week, month. I think this need to be filed under the other/. article on "technologies that will fail in 2009"
I used to work for one of these guys years ago... it doesn't surprise me to see him behind another insecure and worthless "filler" technology. Hey Mike... read this: http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=5644
The real rear end chapper is that there is TONS of really cool technologies and lots of smart people in Minnesota. Sorry/. that you get the "country bumpkin tech"
p.s. My Apple Newton had this same technology.
