I think those are two very valid concerns when building a top of the line fighter jet. Especially if EM weapons become a more realistic threat, as each fly-by-wire wire is effectively an antenna. If you're shielding against EM weapons, the weight will quickly stack up more than just the signal wire.

Filters, rugged transceivers, chokes and your problem is solved there. EMP is a threat where you are able to load all traces on the PCB and in the chips themselves with varying potentials instantly. We’re used to securing transients on the signal lines. Not on the 10mm trace from chipA to chipB.
