I'm processing some slightly older photos and I just came across this Candes Systems Mac SE/30 CSI 1891T I saw at System Source Computer Museum in Maryland. What an interesting case!

Per digibarn.com the "T" in the model name stood for "tempest" shielding, used by government agencies and others to prohibit electromagnetic impulses from exiting a device and to thereby be detected. https://www.digibarn.com/collections/systems/mac1891T/index.html

Is this true?

@mejs seems possible. certainly tempest radiation was and is a real thing (the solution these days is to hope attackers don't get close enough)

@mejs Yeah, and there's a few other more extremely shielded Macs just to left IIRC.
