as well as significant out of band emissions, if operated anywhere near  
the edge of the band.

Not that all the "hackers" cared about either.

Billy Baskett and I did this when we were back at Tadpole, circa 1993.   
  Magazine editor wanted to know if the
"magnesium case" would stop a bullet.   We tried a .22 short, went  
right through.  The rest of the range time was spent with much larger  
weapons, making sure that the SPARCbook (2, if memory serves) would  
never boot again.

Tadpole first exposed me to (then proprietary) wireless LAN.
