This has to be the most unexpected thing I've heard of in a while.

How's that? There are frequently headlines about inferring speech inside a building from vibrations of windows or objects inside the room.

I knew when they said they could infer my password based on the sounds of the keystrokes that the concept of "secret" in the physical world was in for some changes. It got really, really bad when I heard of research that could evesdrop on sounds based off a laser on a window pane or lightbulb
