Now this might matter. If there's a phone line near the surveilled computer, 
then no blackbag op is necessary. Thus, "fishing" is much easier. If they've 
got to roll the trucks, then they'll probably need to have something fairly 
concrete to nail you with.

 Interestingly, I have had more than one report of aural acquistion of
 typists keystrokes being used to attempt to calculate the content of a
 short keysequence (I assume a password is what was meant by "short
 keysequence").  These reports indicated "poor, but occasionally lucky
 results".
I wonder if this follows the technique used by Song, Wagner, & Tian to 
attack SSH-encrypted passwords by watching keystroke timings.
