Ah, Grasshopper... One must protect against EM waves emanating from  
the keyboard as well. Therefore, to be fully secure unplug the  
keyboard as well...

Of course this is not actually totally secure. Really the only way to  
insure complete security is to power down the computer, carry it, the  
keyboard and mouse, the monitor and all external devices out into the  
courtyard and burn it all to fine ash. Carry the ash to a swift  
moving river and pour about half of it into the white water. Then  
conceal the remaining ash upon your person, and journey to the top of  
a windy peak. Then cast this remaining ash into the sky.
