Sustaining an EM field takes POWER and MONEY

"They'll be built into the tables or into the walls, and they will just keep you going."

I suppose, if a company feels the cost of electricity to maintain these fields is paid for by the business it creates, you might have some interest.

And I suppose if people are used to getting any kind of magnetic device wiped out (like a credit card, or maybe hard drive) you might find a useful application.

Oh, and if you don't mind your PDA, cell phone, WiFi access all being non-functional at the same time.

But seriously, doesn't anybody grasp the impact on technology of powerful electromagnetic fields??
