"should make the tinfoil hat society go stark-raving nuts."
That could be a better weapon against RFI than enforceable regulations,
and the fcc!!!
Speaking of whack-jobs, RFI, energy, et cetera...
About 15 years ago I was talking with a gal that was extremely concerned
about EMI, and the like. She went on, and on about protecting herself
from stray fields, power lines, phones, et cetera.
I noticed the "glass cockpit" in her vehicle, didn't say anything, but
grabbed some detectors from ~100kHz - ~1 GHz, and started running them
by the dashboard. She was curious of all the horrific noises they
produced.
I explained to her that it was all the electro-magnetic radiation coming
from the equipment in her vehicle, and demonstrated that most of it came
from the displays behind the steering wheel, right in front of where she
sits. She expressed concern, but I suggested it was safe- for everyone
outside the metal can that made up the vehicle, but couldn't offer any
suggestions for those secured inside, with the sources, like in a
microwave oven, beyond that she probably added a layer of protection by
blocking and absorbing a lot of the radiation herself when inside. The
look on her face was classic. "Yeah, you didn't think to step-two, did
you...?"
