You're all wrong 

NCSC Pub 1 defines tempest as a short title for the study of unintentional, 
possibly compromising, spurious emanations.  

take it as gospel folks - they originated it.  according to folklore, when
it was discovered that EMI could be captured and analyzed, the resulting
furor and panic was likened to a tempest in a teapot.  hence the short title.
