I've worked on facilities that used
passive and active measures for not only
EMI/
RFI shielding but also to
address other forms of potential eavesdropping such as
laser interferometry or tapping into communications lines. Most of these were military or government facilities but some were test and research facilities, 'think tanks' and even some corporate spaces (you don't want your competitors learning that you're planning to buy them out or how much you'd accept in a
buyout or any of your plans for the next quarter). In comparison to that, I see potential non-technical challenges to any more general application of
RFI shielding, especially for any public venues. With all respect, in most cases a classroom or instructional space does not belong to the instructor, it belongs to the public and could have a not only a different user at any
point in the future, but unless it is a dedicated use space also a different use.
