Are you shielding from FMJ rounds or radar?

Foil-faced insulation should do just fine. Time to check my walls.

And I doubt if having a radar-proof house or a Faraday room is probable
cause for a warrant.

And while we're on the subject, anyone know where to get Levis and
t-shirts with some aluminized fibers, the mofo's are starting to deploy
this shit at airports aren't they?
