Would lead even work as RF shielding?  I thought that
application required some sort of ferrous metal.

Apropos (barely) this thread, last month I was in
the Nestle cookie&coffee shop in Sedona that didn't
have any signs indicating WIFI availability, but
out of curiosity I cranked up my laptop to see if it
was available, since I figured they could afford to
offer it since they were charging like $3 for each
cookie.  Sure enough I got a nice strong signal and
no authentication was required, so I messed around on
the WWW for a while.  I commented to the kid behind
the counter that they ought to publicize their WIFI
better and he said, "but we don't offer WIFI".  So I
examined the details of my connection more closely
and, best I could determine, I was using the office
network of the hotel across the street...  ;->
