prostoalex writes "The next effort to improve wireless security might involve a trip to Home Depot. Force Field Wireless sells buckets of aluminum and copped-laced paint designed to prevent the 802.11 packets from escaping the building, Information Week reports.

According to the products page, they also sell the brush sets." Easier than wallpaper, or moving into an old house.
