I...don't await eagerly the time when tinfoil ceases to be the joke it has been for decades, instead being promoted to a solution anybody even remotely interested in their privacy utilizes.

RF blocking walls could be useful for more than just privacy. Could block out neighbors overpowered wifi APs. Just have a data line in and wifi APs inside.

  • That would work, as far as you don't plan on using your cell phone at home.

    • Luckily most carriers support call/SMS over WiFi. And if that isn't available, a signal booster could bridge the RF barrier.

Soon we’ll have to paint our home walls with Wifi proof paint to bounce off external signals , if they keep designing stuff like this...
