The article (translated) says the wallpaper is designed to allow phone frequencies in and out.

I wonder if you can make a hat out of it…
“sensitive individuals to electromagnetism.”
*facepalm*
Meet idea. What other signals will be blocked?
Will it block RFID? It might make an easy wallet/passport liner to prevent “data theft.”
