[RE-wrenches] EMP - Faraday Cages

[Steve Higgins]

Hey Guys...

This is a question that when ever it came into the warranty area or tech
support issues, there were a lot of eye rolls, and often you really didn't
want to talk about it...

At Trace we got to the point of telling people (Y2K Days) that if we are
still here well fix it!

In theory, I would think it would have to be floating...and the house
loads... anything outside the cage would have to be isolated.

That being said I've never personally have seen this, or tested this.
