[QUOTE="condor22, post: 627987, member: 1932"] Equipment "added" to military aircraft that contains electronics not tested for EMI/EMC by the aircraft manufacturer, are to be contained in a metal box with no air gaps. This prevents the escape of possible interference from spurious sources (Not air tight, but minimal holes or gaps in construction) and prevents the "smoking hole in the ground" result. :) A tin box or alfoil will reduce or eliminate such interference, in both directions. Even metal gauze (small hole type) will act as a Faraday cage. This also applies to civil aircraft. The bulk of such equipment added are passenger mobiles, tablets and laptops, which is why you are asked to turn them off. :) [/QUOTE]
