Um. What do you think the grid of wires in the window of your microwave is for? Its a faraday cage to keep you from being cooked.

  If you pump enough power at the shielding, a) some of it will get through and b) the shielding itself will get very hot from induced eddy currents.

    > pump enough power Problem is you’re fighting path loss which is exponential with distance, whereas the power of your emitter is scaling linearly.

        You’re right of course.
