"An intelligence services source said the delicate detection equipment on board the planes had previously been used successfully to work out a suspected terrorist's computer password because of the heat signature left on the keys."

It's the daily mail, move along people.

Considering its possible to detect what somebody is talking about behind soundproof glass simply by observing the leaves of a plant or some bag of chips, yes.

Yeah but this is saying they can detect the heat on the keys of your laptop from a plane. You're telling me their infrared cameras can see through my roof, and 2nd storey?

I think dailymail story put together truth & lies. Surely the Brits don't like to educate their foes about HM SIGINT&COMINT capabilities. However the use of SIGINT/COMINT tactical platform is not unheard in our world. I know the US states' Air National Guard/National Guard put their Guardrail aircrafts at work (jointly with LE Agencies) to hunt CONUS-based terrorists.
