Talking of shielding from EMP and EM warfare. If it works one way it should work the other...

2D and virtually weight and space free. Link the components using FDDI and the problem goes away.

Thinking sideways it would also be a godsend in satellites allowing use of COTS electronics instead of expensive hardened chips......

If Mobile phones can F++k up pax jet electrics I would say God help you with an EMP.

Your Tesla might not start when you reach the airport and if you are flying to the sandpit it might now be the glasspit....

Until then I'm afraid I'm going to mock you gently and enquire as to which brand of tinfoil you use for your hat making......

It would be put to a better use wrapped around ones testes

The ban on cell phones in aircraft is to preserve the integrity of the cellular network on the ground. Simplyfying: the network can be confused by a signal of equal strength trying to handshake with several neighbouring cells at the same time. The system can be overwhelmed.
