I think a lot of us already saw the various other sources debunking the fridge-as-faraday-cage theory. That said, low temperatures do increase the internal resistance of batteries. If you put your phone in the freezer for a while (probably not a great idea due to the high ambient moisture) then it will turn off, and not turn back on. A little bit later, it'll probably tell you that it can't turn on because of low battery. But once it's back up to room temperature, it should turn on just fine (again, assuming the moisture in the freezer hasn't screwed it up really badly). Blocking radio signals is one thing, but using a fridge might have been an effective way to deactivate most off-the-shelf batteries in a non-invasive and impermanent way. Does anyone think this idea has any merit?
