I've heard that detecting the 455-kHz LO of a superhet isn't all that hard, and that for instance in countries that require a radio license, they use such techniques to check if people in their houses have radios (or TVs) that they're not on record of having licenses for!

Here in Fresno, there's a billboard that detects the FM station to which car radios passing it are tuned, and summarizes the data for marketing purposes.

I always switch to AM when I see it.
