[SGVLUG] wireless effect

[Sean O'Donnell]

You may find that transforming your workstation area into a Faraday
Cage, might help protect you from all those evil brainwash-enabling,
cancer-causing, invisible death-ray emissions.

Schools, business, your friends house, your neighbors.  Yup, they all gotz it.  That "SilverStreak" bus now has it.  Forget about using a microwave oven.  Let's see....most cell phones use 1.8-1.9Ghz so ditch those too.  Cordless phones, bluetooth headsets,  bye bye.   Some cities blanket the area with Metro Wifi so don't go outside, either.
