What is most poignant about this post is the lack of education of /. authors. Don't they teach Maxwell any more? Is Faraday just the guy who said "Sir, I do not know what it is good for. But of one thing I am quite certain--someday you will tax it." Put your cell phone in a metal tin, and call it. Wrap your access point or receiver or other radio in Al foil. Do you think Brin in _Enemy of the State_ was just a potato-chip fetishist?
