According to Whitman and Mattord, TEMPEST is a program developed by the US government to reduce the risk of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) monitoring. (Whitman & Mattord, 2009) Some believe that TEMPEST was actually a code word created by the US government in the 1960’s but was later defined as Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation Surveillance Technology or Telecommunications Electronic Material Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions. (Whitman & Mattord, 2009) In general, TEMPEST involves the following types of procedures: ensuring that computers are placed far as possible from outside perimeters, installing special shielding inside the CPU, and implementing a whole host of other restrictions including maintaining distance from plumbing and other infrastructure components that carry radio waves. (Whitman & Mattord, 2009).
The standards and measurements used under TEMPEST are in document published by National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security. (TEMPEST/1-92, 2008) National Communications Security Committee Directive 4 sets U.S. TEMPEST standards. The requirements are set out in document NACSIM 5100A, which is classified. TEMPEST certification for private sector usage is extremely expensive and, as a result, it has led to a newer standard, called ZONE, which is more cost effective, though somewhat less secure. Approved TEMPEST-shielded devices are classed into 3 categories. Type 1 is extremely secure and available only to the U.S. government and approved contractors, who must undergo strict vetting. Type 2 is somewhat less secure, but still requires government approval to use. Type 3 is for general commercial use. There are three levels of protection required within the document. The f...

One of the first distinctions that should be drawn in this discussion is that between RF weapons and EMP weapons. An EMP (electromagnetic pulse) is usually employed by detonating a thermonuclear devices at high altitudes (500 miles or more) above the Earth. The resulting electromagnetic pulse cripples any electronic equipment within its path. Thus, one nuclear device can be used to cripple the modern infrastructure of an entire nation [1]. An RF device is effective over a much smaller range, but it can cause just as much damage [2].

Through a historical lens, Shakespeare’s The Tempest revolves around the evolving times of England during the Tudor Dynasty in 1552-1603. During those times Queen Elizabeth I was the newly appointed ruler of England after her half-sister, the previous ruler had died. This new change was the new beginning for England. It allowed many opportunities to arise such as a new stock company, provisions for the poor, and a chance for many to explore the world with their new wealth. To thank and impress their new Queen, many set sail to conquer new lands. Similar to history, The Tempest did contained a few curious Englishmen and their king discovering new land but the exact location is unknown. At the time of Shakespeare’s
The Tempest seems to be a play that deals mainly with power and control. The first scene of Act I opens with the tempest itself, a powerful storm that is capable of destroying the ship and everyone on board. This chaotic scene introduces some of the characters and their power-relations to each other. The characters on the boat are either nobles, such as Antonio and Gonzalo, or servants or professionals, such as the Boatswain and the mariners. The storm upsets this precarious balance between masters and servants, and the Boatswain, attempting to save the ship, comes into direct conflict with the nobles. The Boatswain speaks rudely to the nobles, which irritates them because the Boatswain is a commoner. However, at that moment, the Boatswain

Throughout the play The Tempest there is a relationship that pits master and slave in a harmony that benefits both parties. Though it may sound strange, these slaves sometimes have a goal or expectation that they hope to have fulfilled. Although rarely realized by its by its participants, the Master--Slave, Slave--Master relationship is a balance of expectation and fear by the slaves to the master; and a perceived since of power by that of the master over the slaves.

“The generic name for the electronic device being used is a ‘stingray.’ The stingray acts like a cell phone tower that picks up the signal of all cell phones, laptops and tablets being used in the area. Once detected, the stingray helps law enforcement not only detect your location, but track all of your electronic phone calls and internet use, allowing them to monitor what you say and do” (Jolly). No matter where you are, like the beach, woods or somewhere in the city, the government can track your exact location and everything you do on your electrical device. All calls can and will be tapped in and recorded without your knowledge and permission. Although keeping people safe is a priority, some may find their private life to be invaded. No
The Tempest was written in 1611 as Shakespeare’s last romantic comedy. This play is focused mainly on the theme of power. Shakespeare portrays an aging magician who has been living in exile with his young daughter on a remote island for the past 12 years. Shakespeare presents forms of power in different ways, but mainly through the characters of Prospero. In The Tempest Shakespeare shows 3 different types of power, which are through love, power over his slave Caliban, and power of magic.
