Taking the subject of security one step beyond the computer...
cordless phones in the home and some cell phones. Especially cordless home phones are as easily scanned as turning on your TV set. One can buy an inexpensive scanner at Radio Shack and scan for active phone calls. All they have to do is be near your home in a car with a pad and pencil.
From my corporate days we were always counseled to NEVER discuss sensitive information over either a cordless or cell phone.
And I am sure credit card info is passed every day by many unsuspecting users.
