[OPLINTECH] Magnetic Paint & WiFi

[Chad Neeper]

Anyone interested could probably test the effect with a small amount of 
the paint. Find a small cardboard box, paint it, and toss a cell phone 
inside. Don't forget to make a peep-hole! You may also need to paint 
over an exposed wire and then connect it to ground to get the full 
effect. Sounds good in theory and it might be an interesting experiment 
if anyone has access to a small amount of the paint.
