Scared of hackers, protecting your password, encryption or identity theft? Here's a solution: paint your house!
Now, don't run out just yet and purchase any old gallon of paint. Home Depot's Color Solution Center will not get you very far in shielding your WiFi connection. Force Field Wireless has created a latex house paint that is laced with copper and aluminum fibers that form an electromagnetic shield, blocking most radio waves, thus protecting your precious wireless network. Available only in flat gray, one coat will shield WiFi, WiMAX and Bluetooth networks that operate from 100 megahertz to 2.4 gigahertz.
Fret not, you don't have to make your house completely monotone - this paint makes a fine primer and can be used underneath regular household paint. Buyers beware: before slabbing on three coats (which, by the way, is the maximum level of protection) painters must apply with caution. Harold Wray, a Force Field Wireless spokesman, said the paint must be carefully applied. "Radio waves find leaks," he said. Also, be selective about application. Televisions, radios and cell phones can be affected.
