As I was building IR beacons for mobile robots at the time, it led me to suggest an IR LED that was connected to a thermal emission source, then you could pick up random numbers by sampling the IR spectrum for a some period of time in your area. At least that way you don't know when the randomness was sampled (well not exactly), and your sniffer has to capture all radiated IR in all directions to ensure it has a complete history if it wants to back correlate it. Harder but still not as simple as just putting it in your machine. (which if you care enough you will do)

You could probably do it with the radioactive source in a smoke detector.
