'The Faraday cage is named for Michael Faraday, who discovered the properties that make it work with experiments with static electricity and an ice pail. '
'Mr Colella then went out of his way to inhibit the functionality of the PDA by placing it in a foil bag to create a faraday cage. ', "Apparently, Colella's managers were aware that he kept his PDA wrapped in a snack bag.", "The outer surface of an object acting as a Faraday cage doesn't block electromagnetic phenomena as much as it distributes it around its outer surface and doesn't transmit the charge or wave to its inside surfaces."
'Colella’s supervisors knew that he placed his PDA in the foil bag and... should have known the effect that this action would have on the PDA device."'
