Actually, if you turn your building into a faraday cage, I’m not sure there’s any legal basis on which to tell you that you have to permit RF through, even if it blocks the signal downstream. Creating a shadow is very different from actively emitting “harmful interference” and I don’t know of any laws or regulations which could be used to prevent you from doing so. Owen
