re:>>"..or someone aligned with the reflections coming off your window pane just sitting there with a data trap

Ah, can we call that the "second-hand smoke" coming off the mirrors?<ggg>

Is this a genuine concern, i.e. unless there is a convex reflective surface at the receiver it would seem any "stray" energy would be massively attenuated to someone scanning for reflections that wasn't on-axis? Even if nearly on-axis it would seem to be well below the detection threshold of the standard receiver since there isn't, presumably, an efficient reflector at the receiver. NSA probably has such a beast, but your average Joe would be hard pressed to get their hands on such equipment for less than millions, I'd think. I have no idea; just asking.
