Wrapping your gadgets in aluminum foil should be pretty effective at (ahem) foiling their attempts to contact a wifi hub.
Unless your entire home is wrapped in aluminum foil (including rf-blocking coatings on all windows (permanently closed!)), it's hard to *use* a {printer, refrigerator, washing mashine, coffee maker, ...} while said object is wrapped in aluminum foil. :)
A single layer of do it yourself aluminum foil is inexpensive, perhaps about 1% at time of construction. Even if windows are skipped, perhaps it would mitigate some driveby attacks such as...? http://www.bing.com/search?q=wall+penetrating+radar Add in some cheap rolldown foil over cloth window shades or plywood shutters and maybe the residents would enjoy quite pre-industrial RF free sleeping hours? This seems easily pilot testable and marketable to both health and spy type of customers.

One can buy graphite cloth and paint, for walls, and silver/nickel plated nylon cloth for curtains and bedding.

Turn the damn thing off first and take the battery out THEN wrap that rascal. Wrapping a phone tightly in foil will drive the SWR of the transmitter off-the-scale and one of two things will happen. The output stage will fry, or IF there's SWR detection you're in good shape and the transmitter simply won't operate. The latter is highly unlikely... because 'junk', or because design... ie. 'capitalist's marketing opportunity' to sell you another phone.
