Interesting post. However, this appears to be little threat.  Power and
signal coupling by induction falls off very rapidly with distance. Note
that even with a "booster antenna" (probably a larger area loop on the
sensor) max operating range is 30 mm -- under 1¼ inches. And at 26.48 KB,
bandwidth will not be all that wide. One might be able to pick it up with a
portable SW receiver for a few feet.
