Interesting idea. I don't think you could get anything useful about the
operation of the electronic components (mostly because CPU & motherboard
architectures come and go in less time than it takes for DOD to procure a
piece of equipment), but that darned keyboard interface might stand out
enough to be a viable target.

Or maybe not - there is an awful lot of interference between that signal and
an external power line. It would probably take some serious hands-on work to
figure out if it could actually be done.
