I'm hiding from Them, of course, what a silly question. *Eye twitches*
A Faraday cage isn't very high tech, and I don't really have one in my room.
A Faraday cage just means some box enclosed with an electrically conductive material. Tin foil will do, and so will that wicked-awesome aerosol metal spray stuff. A tightly-knit mesh works too. It blocks RF energy (radio waves) from entering it. Like an RF shield.
For instance, my computer causes horrific interference on my shortwave radio all through the HF band from 10 MHZ and up. It's a common problem. Inside a running computer there is lots of radio-frequency (RF) energy and if the case is not properly shielded (the front panel of mine is plastic :roll: ) then it will act almost as a radio transmitter and interfere with other signals I receive. I could cure this by spraying that aerosol metal all over the case to form a Faraday Cage, but I think that would void the warranty.
