Now that's a new one on me. Loops in the walls... well if they are all
around the room and well bonded to the spg and at all the seams I wouldn't
think they would cause any problems... of course they may not help much
either. With holes the size of a wall they could hardly be called a faraday
cage, they wouldn't give much shielding from anything except maybe vlf, and
definitely wouldn't stop lightning.

> Do(es) this loop(s) add anything to the protection? Where
