For a so called normal user? No way, I guess. It would have increased price. Besides, certain types of hardware are probably impossible to shield, given that their work is based on actually doing those radio emissions (phones and some more). Perhaps it could be done with a phone, but the price and mass would have been big. For example, two batteries, one for antenna, second for processor, with optical separation in between. Something like this. I really have no idea if this is the right way to do it, so I am guessing. Maybe even three batteries. That is no pocket device - a suitcase phone. Much easier would be to simply not have anything important on a phone, however smart. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
