When you raise pointless pedantic quibbles, you should make some effort to
ensure that you have got things right. You haven't!

The word Tempest is widely used, not merely to refer the specifics of the
eponymously codenamed set of classified standards for reducing emissions
from electronic information handling equipment and facilities (the details
of which are NOT public) but more broadly to refer to all matters regarding
emsec, especially computer-related emsec. There are literally tens upon
tens of thousands of entries on Google confirming this. As just one
example, one of the better sites uses the term Tempest much as I do.

Oh, it's easy to make a Faraday cage, you say - as long as it doesn't
matter whether it works! Now there's a penetrating insight! Do you apply
such high standards to all your undertakings?

On your basis then, I've constructed a time-travel machine from cardboard
and duct-tape. Its only small defect is that it doesn't work.

What a buffoon you are!
