Love the line about the blocking ability in the sales lit:
Please Note: EMP DEFENDER BAGS are not intended to completely block
cell phone transmissions. Microwave transmissions from cell phones and
Wi-Fi equipment are not valid testing methods to determine the
integrity of a Faraday Cage.

Those aren't farady cages; they're glorified anti-static bags that do
bugger-all for RF shielding unless they are (properly) grounded.

Then why does my GPS, Bluetooth, wifi and cell signal NOT work when the

The EM shielding materials I've looked at specifically to absorb/reflect cell phone and wi-fi (lots of devices in the labs at work and a need to keep them off the real network but still test connection for signal processing of things like fitbit, motion trackers for movement analysis, etc) all have specific wavelengths they absorb in. </div><div><br></div><div>But yeah. Unless the outer metal layer is grounded, dual layers just act like a capacitor in an RC circuit.

I don't have the "EMP Defender", but I do have a pouch and it does work.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
