Echelon: Use Van Eyck-ish to get secure nets?

As anyone who has read Cryptonomicon (by Neal Stephenson) or is
themselves a phreaker of sorts, it is possible to tap into the keyboard
strokes of a computer by using an antenna to receive what are called Van
Eyck Radiation.

I am wondering if a similar technique could be used to tap into a secure
network by reception of ghost signals that are reflections of packets
that are normally blocked by a firewall.
