Very interesting. I hadn’t considered the notion of passive blocking of cell phone signals, but it can easily be accomplished by using a wire mesh in wall insulation that would act as a faraday cage, thereby blocking all signal. But I wonder if this will ever become wide spread enough for the FCC to make a ruling on it.

Passive blocking of cell phone signals may become as illegal as active blocking. Movie theaters and other public buildings are starting to invest in building materials and specialized paint that block cell phone signals. When this start to become wide spread I can easily see the government cracking down on its use. It basically constitutes as a circumvention of the law at that point and the FCC will not let anyone get away with it.
