Just found this, for all us er ah I mean YOU conspiracy theorists. I. Could see it coming in handy in certain situations, but couldn’t a person “build their own” (chime in you techie guys).

That product is just a Faraday cage in a fancy wrapper. You can just wrap your phone in aluminum foil. Doesn’t look as elegant but it works. You could also put your phone under your tin foil hat.

Yeah someone said to wrap the phone in plastic wrap first to protect it from the foil. That post was in light of the NATIONAL October 4th test at 14:20-14:50 Eastern time.

Though not being able to use your handheld device or entertainment system may cause hysteria, users all over will have to abide by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on October 4th, as all cell phones, televisions, and radios will be going through a nationwide test.

The test will take place at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 4th. Though noises from your electronic device may be loud for a duration of 30 minutes, FEMA will be assessing the nationwide Emergency Alert System as well as Wireless Emergency Alerts.

Sources have revealed that a voice may also be heard from your device saying something along the lines of, “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public.”

The test itself is to ensure that in case of a national disaster, every electronic device will be notified within a 10-minute period.

But, but I don’t wear a hat as much as I used to.

Just unplug your microwave and put your cell phone in there for the half-hour test.

Naw, I’ll just stash it in an empty ammo can (before I fill it up)

You could cheaply make your own faraway bag/box with copper mesh fabric. The kind the use to stuff cracks to keep out mice and snakes.

True, but most of us already have an ammo can or two around.

I’ve actually thought about buying a small roll for just that purpose. Some of the things I want to put in one won’t all fit in an ammo can. But I didn’t know how fine a mesh I would need.

Good morning Yard. A storm blew through here at 4 a.m. and dropped a little rain while cooling down the temps a bit.

Got down to at least 59 here with an 81 degree predicted high.

Good morning, Yard.
