They have EM bugs placed close to target sites. But these bugs have to be powered/recharged, so the NSA use focused radar to power the bug itself. Information is then sent back down the radar signal by modulating it.
EM spying is very real[0] and documented. "The Thing"[1] from 1945 actually uses some of the principles they're discussing here, they're just combining it with Tempest. Nothing they're describing is science fiction, it is very possible.
