I think the real issue is how accessible is the technology to do this?

If it's very accessible then we have a problem. If it requires a lot of work then we're fine because the people who really have to worry (secure government facilities) should already have solutions for this.

The only thing new here may be the costs and accessibility of this type of spying.

As for the UPS/surge protector making a difference I doubt it. It may scramble the signal more, but the data is not lost. According to the laws of entropy information cannot be destroyed it can only be created.

If the UPS scrambles it enough that the information is hard to retrieve then that may be enough. However, if you really need this kind of security then I would expect a bit more than a UPS as your solution.
