Wow - this strikes me as about as useful a pastime as the people who used to hot-rod automatic garage door openers and go around opening everyone's doors late at night. Yay. (Of course, I *liked* the punks who took foam noodles and went around biking along and bopping peoples' cars to set off the alarms...as long as it was in the middle of the day...) Time to re-harden my wearable plans, I guess. Anyone know what would suffice to protect, oh, say, the usual PC-104-style computers people talk about? One really well-constructed Faraday cage?
