I'm not a technician (far from it), however my understanding of 'tempest-for-dummies' is like this:
Your monitor and keyboard give off some sort of FM frequency. This is why your monitor will sometimes interfere with a TV set near it. Similarly if you fool with the TV's channel-tuner you will sometimes pick up cordless phone or portable radio signals. TEMPEST is a method of picking up that FM signal and reproducing what your monitor and keyboard etc. are doing on a unit set up for that purpose. So it can pick up whatever girlie pics you are leering at, and whatever passwords you are entering to see them. And record same for your later embarrasment. If this sort of thing is a problem for you, you can 'shield' your computer by building a cage around it which will prevent the signal travelling (this is way outside my area of expertise but I'm sure any competent electrician or radio enthusiast could put you on the right track). There are commercially available 'tempest shields', however you have to remember that most of the 'leakage' comes from the cables connecting the pieces of hardware.
