If I gave away a PC with perfect RF isolation and a rock solid supply chain it wouldn’t improve most user’s overall security because their operational security is so poor. There is no need for any organization to snoop your RF when you’re leaking everything they care about in your metadata.

Intercepting metadata requires a different type of surveillance which may not be possible. The metadata is not at all equivalent to what can be sniffed via RF, which can include your actual keystrokes and the pixels on your screen.
