I repeat.  Generations of sweating engineers have discovered and confirmed 
that there is not an easy, "Silver Bullet" cure of the canonical problem 
of shielding electromagnetic energy from reaching someone who knows how 
to interpret it.

Bill, you are welcome to look at a layer of tin foil and give a sigh of 
relief that you've shielded your gun or your crypto diskette or your 
private body parts feom someone who knows what they're doing.  Go ahead, 
chant a mantra too, if it makes you feel better.

Shielding EMF/ELF is very difficult. I had a customer who had a wobbly
monitor and the solutions just to shield the monitor from some ELF
interference was in the $1k range. Check out this site:

A little primer on ELF radiation. And putting foil in the wall will do
nothing except possibly spreading the radiation to a wider area. (Like
using frosted glass. :)

If you wrap the aluminium foil around your cranium and the lead foil
around your balls, make sure that the 2 metals don't touch when you
stick your head up your ass.  The resulting spark may cause the
intestinal gas to explode.

Oh dear!! Did I just post a bomb recipe???
