Business suit tailored to reflect phone radiation If you’re worried that mobile phone and Bluetooth signals could be doing you harm, then you can now block them out and still remain a dedicated follower of fashion. Clothing company Remus has cut a gents' suit with an interwoven metal frame that’s claimed to reflect Bluetooth and mobile phone radiation, despite the jury still …

Lightning? I'm pretty sure it would be better to have the suit earthed than reflective in that situation. However, it'd probably be pretty handy where the US have their Active Denial System deployed...
All they need to do now is mix up this suit with an "Energy Weapon Protection Device" ( http://ftp.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week43/OG/html/1323-4/US07284280-20071023.html ) and America will be forced to actually kill those pesky Students and Peaceniks, not electrocute them into coma.
First of all, faraday cages aren't reflective (and they are also effective only at certain wavelengths depending on the grid spacing). Any incoming EM on the right frequency will induce small currents in the faraday cage and so not penetrate it.
Unless it has an unshielded external pocket then your phone will not work when inside your suit (or they are lying and it has no effect at all on microwave transmissions).
As protection from lighting it's likely to make things worse not better, the entire wire bit will melt and probably set your suit on fire, plus it might increase your likelihood of being hit in the first place, especially if your trouser hems drag on the ground.
Re: Hmmmmmm...
Well if you put the phone inside then it will turn up it's transmit power to try and get a signal to the network. So much more radiation - at least until the battery goes flat in a fraction of the time it normally lasts.
Re: Someone explain
It's simple, you just have to remember to use the marketing department physical model of reality and it all works nicely.
But no-one spotted the even better use for this - it would be interesting to see what it did to the tazer current. In theory, the current would just short along the wires and the wearer would be largely unaffected. Of course, it depends on closely the wires are woven.
My understanding is that Thorshield (search for it) is simply a highly conductive wearable fabric which conducts the current between the poles of the taser through itself instead of through your body. If that is right then this should also work as long as the metal mesh is fine enough.
Anyone want to test?
Airport security is bad enough, but this would be hilarious - "Would sir kindly remove your trousers? They are setting off the metal detector."
Come to think of it, the average tin-foil-hat wearer won't go within 25kms on an airport due to the microwave mind-control rays they use.
Come to think of it even more; what the hell is the average tin-foil-hat wearer doing in a suit?
thukkathukkathukkathukka - the black helicopters are coming!
