makes me wonder is there mght be a market for MU metal jumpsuits. snip

Not too many years ago, ABC actually had all their wire run ducts
coated with mu metal to allay any fears about "electromagnetic
radiation" illnesses! This was at the Talmadge and Prospect studios.
The contractor, a personal friend of mine, laughed all the way to the
bank, but the dunderheaded ABC brass were QUITE serious! Mind you,
the hottest thing in those ducts was 480. LOL!

Given the number of lawsuits out there, this might have been a good idea.
You wouldn't believe some of the bizarre suits out there from folks claiming
damage due to electromagnetic radiation. It's at the point where OSHA has
now made guidelines for RF exposure, in the absence of any actual physical
data. If a few tens of thousands of dollars of overpriced conduit keeps
away a million-dollar lawsuit, it's a good investment even if it really does
nothing.
